Before you can market your property for rental purposes, you will need to:

Consider your mortgage. If you are thinking about letting a property that has previously been occupied by an owner-occupier you will need to inform the current mortgage lender that tenants will be living in the property. In most instances, you will be required to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage.

Consider your local authority. Councils often require to be notified of rented properties, and often landlords are required to pay for a license.

Get specialist landlord insurance, you will not be covered by regular household insurance.

Let your freeholder (if you have one) know that tenants will be living in the property.

Decide if you are going to rent your flat as furnished or unfurnished. We can help you decide.

If you are going to be living overseas apply to HMRC for your Non-Resident Landlord exemption certificate.
