• I have my 2 bed flat in Sutton on the market but despite a few viewers there is a lack of interest so far. As a fall back position I am considering letting out the property if cant find a buyer. I dont anticipate a problem getting consent to let from the freeholder. My IFA says that in such a scenario I may be obliged to switch to a BTL product yet I probably don't have enough equity needed. What's my exposure if I if hypothetically I was to just keep the current Tesco Bank home loan and rent out the flat without informing them. As long as the mortgage is being paid in full and on time, why would they care or check?
