  • A friend of mine has let her property off the same landlady for almost one and a half years. During the past year my friend has been getting letters from Skipton Building Society (she hasn't opened them-it is clear from the envelope). Inititially she forwarded them to the landlord’s address. I was a bit suspicious as none of her landlady's post was meant to be going there. I decided to go to my friends house and called Skipton Building Society on her behalf. The guy I called at Skipton Building Society had a long list of queries, the landlady's details, information on the tenant and then said they would look into whether she had the correct mortgage and if she didn't it was an offence without consent to let. What does this mean for my friend?

The mortgage is with Skipton Building Society and we've found a tenant who will pay rent in excess of the monthly mortgage amount.
