I'm not sure, but I don't think it's possible to hide it so the mortgage must be ok with it. Perhaps there isn't a whole lot left after this time so would that affect things? as in mortgage nearly done?user1977 said:Also I'd be interested to know how she's dealt with her mortgage, as "normal" mortgage products are unlikely to permit a change to short-term lettings.0 -

In fact The City of Edinburgh Council fined its first unlicensed short term let landlord this week and the case has been referred to the procurator fiscal for criminal charges.
