Do I need to inform my mortgage company?
Most mortgagees insist as a term of the mortgage that you inform them of your intention to let the property.
It is quite likely that they will agree to this if your lender is one that accepts 'buy-to-let' mortgages, it may well be on different terms and at a different interest rate than your current deal and they may charge an arrangement fee.
It is recommended that you take advice from your mortgage provider or your independent financial advisor.
