read moreConsent to Let
Many first-time landlords are unaware they need consent to let their property from their mortgage lenders.
Some lenders may approve an application without penalty others will charge a one-off fee, whilst some companies may increase the interest rate on the existing mortgage.
Depending on a mortgage company’s policy, it may be worth considering transferring to a buy-to-let mortgage. This may be a little more expensive than a residential mortgage and early repayment fees on an original mortgage may be incurred. A long term saving, however, may achieved be over the rental income and capital growth of the property would outweigh the initial set up costs.
For prospective landlords, an interest only mortgage may not only offer the benefit of cheaper repayment terms, but also potential tax advantages.
Please don’t be tempted to go ahead and let without your lenders permission as this may breach the conditions of your mortgage agreement. This can have serious consequences culminating in the lender taking possession proceedings against you.
Our recommendation is to seek professional advice from an independent financial adviser who specialises in mortgages before making any decisions.

New regulations have been drafted for a compulsory tenancy deposit scheme in Scotland.
As soon as the regulations have been approved and come into force, landlords and landlords’ agents must lodge the tenancy deposits they are holding for all relevant existing, new and renewed tenancies with the regulatory body within 6 months (for long-term tenancies, this may be extended to 9 months).
A tenancy deposit scheme is designed to protect tenants’ deposits and provide an independent body to assist in dispute resolution. If a tenant and a landlord can’t agree on deductions at the end of a tenancy for repairs and dilapidations, the scheme will decide how the funds are refunded and to who, based on evidence they will be given by both parties.
It is expected the regulations will come into force during March 2011. Watch this space…
