If you are thinking of renting your accommodation and would like further information, please contact us to arrange your free advice session to discuss your requirements and rental potential.
You’ll need to check with your mortgage lender whether they will allow you to let out your property on the specified scheme we offer. If they refuse (some banks do not permit property letting or buy-to-let mortgages) you can contact other lenders who will remortgage the property that you wish to let. We will be able to help and advise you on this.
You must inform your brokers that you are letting your property – failure to do so may invalidate any claim that you may make. There are specialist companies that deal with this type of insurance, you can get more details on that by clicking here.
