The three required permissions are:-
- If a leasehold property, read the lease – it might not allow permission to let.
May have to obtain the permission of freeholder. - Inform any joint owners – be careful if the property has been inherited by more than one person, and only one decides to let it without informing the others.
- Inform the Mortgage Company – might be an offence (depending on the T&C’s in the mortgage)
It is critical to ensure all permissions are obtained, especially if applying for a licence.
