We do not allow buy-to-let or for the whole property to be let. We will allow customers to let out a discrete part of the Property at the inception of or during the lifetime of the mortgage providing certain conditions are met. These are: • The part of the Property where the tenant will reside must be self-contained so that the tenant can have exclusive possession of that part. • The valuer will confirm that the proposed tenant living space will be no more than 50% of total area on which the mortgage is to be secured. • The Property must meet all other criteria within our lending rules. Once we have verified the Property meets our requirements, we will then proceed to offer and include any specific requirements to you in a Special Condition. In all cases, we require you to check that the tenancy agreement is a Private Residential Tenancy, only in the precise form of the Scottish Government’s model You are also required to obtain an Tenant’s Deed of Consent for any occupant of the proposed tenant living space. Each occupant of the proposed tenant living space must receive separate independent legal advice from a solicitor, Chartered Legal Executive or Licensed Conveyancer in a different firm to the Borrower’s solicitor. The Tenant’s Deed of Consent must be witnessed by the solicitor providing the advice. See 1.11 for Aviva contact details |
