Letter to mortgage company for permission to rent our house out

[countydurhamlass]

we have decided to rent our property out. we have made an offer on another property for us to buy and have a tenant to move into ours. we have to ask the mortgage company for permission to rent it and wonder if anyone has done this and has a letter i can copy from.

thanks

We did it but I doubt we still have the letter. I think DW called them first to discuss it then confirmed it in writing.

Our building society (Skipton) just sent us a form to complete after we called and spoke to someone about it. And they added 0.5% to our interest rate.

I emailed my lender requesting permission to rent. Said that I needed to do so due to DH job and they were very quick to send a letter back saying ok.

thanks guys. i rang my mortgage company and they said my mortgage and everything would stay the same i just had to apply in writing for them to consider whether they would say yes or no, and there was a fee of £300! typical
