This year, due to a change in my circumstances I decided to let out this flat, and rent a house in a different area within same loc. The state of affairs that altered is that I started cohabiting with my partner, and the flat is not large enough for us. I do not want to try to dispose of the flat because the current market value is significantly lower than the market value when I acquired the property ten years ago. I contacted Banks and Clients for a consent to let which was turned down as they considered that I wanted to invest in the flat. The whole process was very stressful and frustrating. There is a sense of urgencyas I have a prospective tenant waiting for this consent to let and may look elsewhere.I look forward to hearing from you
