    Hi!
    I'm in the same situation and have been claiming against my Mortgage Payment Protection policy for the last couple of months. We want to relocate and have been considering renting out our mortgaged property, continuing to claim the MPPI and rent out another property down South. However, I checked our full policy last night and it does clearly state that Buy-To-Let mortgages are excluded.

    Double-check your policy wording. It should be specified quite early on, in the eligibility criteria I would think.

    if it says you need to live there as part of the terms, and you dont...i would guess you are not covered.

    sorry.
