I assume you wanted a sensible answer unlike the moron earlier. Clearly if you rent the properties out you should have on the correct basis. Many lenders do not change rates for let properties so speak to them theoretically first. Also ensure your insurance is changed. Who knows if property will continue to be a great way to invest? It has been for 12 years now but, despite great predictions, none of us has a crystal ball. I figure it will be fine long term though.
