Can a new mortgage be taken on a consent to let with Tandem Bank?
In a worst case scenario what action Tandem Bank can take if I have rented my property in the absence of consent to let?
I plan to contact Tandem Bank to obtain consent to let out my house in Tandem Bank. However the property has been on with agents for 5 weeks but there is no interest and forking out for a full mortgage, council tax and insurance on an empty house is draining me financially. What position would Tandem Bank take if I have the house on the market?
There may be various tax and legal (from restrictions on title, lease prohibitions to planning issues) implications when letting out your property. You should always seek the advice of a solicitor and accountant before letting out your property.
You must inform your buildings/contents insurer that you are letting your property and failing to do so can render any insurance you have invalid. Especially having public liability cover is very important as it protects you in the event of a third party being injured on your property, not having this leaves you open to claims made by tenants for personal injury or damage to their possessions arising from incidents connected with your property lack of consent to rent.
Should the tenure of your property be leasehold, the lease may prohibit you from letting or require that you to have a license to do so from the freeholder. If such terms are not adhered to you may be in breach of the lease. This could trigger the freeholder commencing forfeiture proceedings.
Omitting to inform your co-owner of your intention to let could result in them commencing legal proceedings against you. Be sure to obtain their consent in writing.
