I am buying a property in Iver. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Santander be concerned?

The mortgage over my property is with Leeds Building Society for my property in Iver. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Leeds Building Society?

You must advise Leeds Building Society before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’s mortgage conditions.

You should contact Leeds Building Society directly. You need not do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel firm.
