I have a mortgage with TSB for my property in Dorchester On Thames. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform TSB?
Your original mortgage agreement with TSB will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions.

You should contact TSB directly. You need not do this via a TSB conveyancing panel lawyer.
