Do I need consent to sublet on a buy to let property?


Consent to sublet might still be required even if you are purchasing a property with the intention to rent it out. All mortgage providers will need to see the freeholder’s consent to sublet.

Your solicitor should have obtained consent to sublet or given the landlord notice of subletting, if it was required by the terms of the lease. This consent may have been requested from the developers during purchase.

If this is the case, please send us copies of the necessary documentation so that we can update our records. If this is not obtained, our sublet process will need to be completed.
