Well maybe not berserk, but what options are you given and if it is to remortgage to BTL or sell etc, do they give you leeway in terms of time.

It is usually switch to a BTL or sell.

With a timescale or asap. That takes times....0

The lender is in a position to dictate whatever terms it wishes. Obvious approach would be a penal interest loading to encourage the borrower not to abuse the situation.0

HSBC (2 year consent to let)@IAMIAM Realistically speaking, I've never come across a mainstream residential lender 'go berserk' or force you to do anything unreasonable at very short notice.Unless I've mixed-up my lenders, for a client of mine on a 5-year fix, they were happy to extend CTL to the end of the fixed term upon which she remortgaged to a BTL. Every situation is unique so that is not to say that you will necessarily have the same outcome.I am a Mortgage Adviser - You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND PMs asking for one-to-one-advice, or representation.

They would want you to do is as soon as possible.
They are aware it will take time, but it should not take more than 2 months in the main. If you can show them that an application has been submitted, they will probably give you some time to get the valuation done and legal work carried out.
If you have done nothing after 3-4 weeks then yes they probably will start applying a little more pressure.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
