Buy to let advice

I have an existing buy to let mortgage with abbey national - now part of sanander. However I am now living abroad and would like to know whether or not santander would frown upon the fact that I am no longer living in the country. Am I breaking the terms and conditions of my mortgage by living abroad?

The loan to value of the property is somewhere between 75% and 80%. That being the case would anyone be able to recommend a mortgage company who would look favourably on me if santander do not? I have no additional capital I can invest.

Thanks

    Should be ok generally. The only issue you'll have is if you ever want to release equity in the future ie If your UK, expat further lending on a BTL is hard. Apart from that keep the payments made and they will leave you alone.
  • Thanks for the feedback - exactly what I was hoping for:)
