    crap, i would blame my advisor as he failed to has this important question.

    No, you lied about what you were going to do with the house. You knew before buying that you'd be renting it out.

    As I have mentioned earlier I intend to pay back the money I burrowed. This will be achieved in many ways:
    1. Looking to purchase then rent the property out.

    OK, should i inform my advisor, I am looking for a buy to rent mortgage.

    Can i not apply for a normal mortgage and look for tenants (to let) through estate agents.

    I can however make the repayments based on my salary which is the region of £23k.

    It's not his responsibility to check up on your legal borrowing status.

    He is being instructed to rent a property, thats his domain.

    As a LL there are many legal requirements, you need to do some serious reading. You sound very uninformed, and I would suggest you seriously re-think this venture, it sounds as though it was cobbled together after a few pints instead of a few hours research.

    You need to be upfront with your lender, now.

    BTW it wouldn't be "fraud" as you obtained the money honestly, it would be a breach of your mortgage terms, so expect a financial penalty.

    His previous posts do indeed point towards fraud.

    The real danger is if you fail to keep up with mortgage payments and the property gets repossessed. Then you are in breach of the tenancy agreement you have created with your tenants and they can sue you for the costs incurred in losing their home. That is apart from causing others to lose their home. With consent to let or a buy to let mortgage, the tenants have some protection in that the lender acknowledges the tenancy.

    Do you know the difference between a civil matter and criminal activity? Doubt it, posting rubbish like that.

    Sorry, is money laundering a civil or criminal matter?

    The OP sounds as though he would find it difficult to argue that his original circumstances changed. This suggests he obtained a mortgage fraudulently, which is a criminal matter. In short, the worst that can happen is....jail.

    just bought a property for 240k with a 2yr fixed rate mortgage at 4.01% interest only. On the mortgage agreement it says the property is for residential for myself. My broker didnt ask me at the point wheather I will be living or renting the place out.

    I am now looking to rent the property out as my personal circumstances has changed. What are my options, can I still rent the property out, even though the agreement says I am to live there?
    Also, isit too late to get a building insurance?

    Please advice

    When you signed the declaration you will have signed saying this is your residence.....sounds like you're looking for a get out of jail card
