I plan to get in touch with Pepper Money (UK) to obtain consent to let out my property in Pepper Money (UK). However I have put the house on the market but there are no takers and forking out for a full mortgage, council tax and insurance on vacant house is hurting financially. How are Pepper Money (UK) going to react if I market the property?
There are numerous potential 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 restrictions are not strictly observed you may be in violation of the lease. This could trigger the freeholder commencing forfeiture proceedings.
Neglecting to advise your co-owner of your intention to let could result in them taking legal action against you. Be sure to obtain their consent in writing.
