My husband and I purchased a flat in 2013 for 185,000 with Landbay Partners. I got married to someone in the RAF so moved in to married quarters in Gibraltar and now wish to have to get consent to let from Landbay Partners. Will they grant consent?
I am a first time buyer hoping to complete on a terraced house in Landbay Partners. I have a 50% deposit and expect a mortgage from Landbay Partners. My concern is that my partner inherited a apartment in Birmingham and I anticipate moving in next month, when I would have to let out my property. I understand that consent to let is required but it does not sound like a guaranteed option. Is there any advice you can impart?
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 violation of the lease. This could potentially result in the freeholder commencing forfeiture proceedings.
Omitting to advise 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.
