Shared To Let

Say you owned 50% share of a property. You have a mortgage, but you want to buy the full 100% which the agency will allow at the appropriate time.


Say you want to buy the 100% but then want to rent out the house, is this possible? The current mortgage is not buy to let but more a first time buyer one. Can this then be changed to a buy to let mortgage?

    What 'agency'?
    What 'appropriate time'?

    Say you want to buy the 100%
    If the owner of the other 50% agrees to sell, and you can afford to buy, then fine.

    but then want to rent out the house, is this possible?
    Yes - subject to all the normal rules, laws and procedures of letting (see below).

    The current mortgage is not buy to let but more a first time buyer one.
    You'll need CTL or a BTL mortgage

    Can this then be changed to a buy to let mortgage?
    Yes if the current lender agrees or if you change lender.
