The mortgage over my property is with Lloyds for my property in Park Langley. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Lloyds?
You must advise Lloyds prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Lloyds will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Lloyds directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor.

Why can't I complete my conveyancing in Park Langley on Good Friday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the purchase price needs to be transferred electronically between the banks of the buyer and seller's conveyancing practitioner and currently this can only take place on a working day. So you can't complete on a weekend either.
