Top Five Questions relating to Kent Reliance consent to lease

• We are a young couple and we found a apartment in Bexley that we like and want to get a mortgage with Kent Reliance. The issue is that I am pregnant and about to give birth very soon as I am on the last few weeks of pregnancy. This means that it would not be possible for us to move right away so we are thinking to keep living with my mum and dad for about six months. Meanwhile, if we get this property, we can rent it out. I was just wondering how will that work out? Are we likely to obtain consent to let from Kent Reliance
• I am applying for a home loan with Kent Reliance, but we have hit a snag. My husband is the deputy head in a boarding school, whereby living quarters is a perk of the job. We wanted to buy a ground floor flat to get on the ladder, and rent it out while we're in school accommodation. I had thought Kent Reliance would be willing to give consent to let from day one of the mortgage. It is now looking as though we may be refused consent to let. Can you give me any suggestions?
• I accept that I have been most reckless in not informing Kent Reliance that I’m renting my studio flat out. The latest tenants have left the place in a mess and I need to claim on malicious damage. I’m concerned that my insurer will contact Kent Reliance, and secondly if they do inform them, what are they likely to do given the absence of consent to let?
• I'm looking to remortgage our old one bed flat, currently rented with consent to let from Kent Reliance, onto a BTL rate as we are unlikely to be moving back into it now since we have our family home. So, I'm assuming I need a specialist broker for this and I am not really au fait with what my options are. Are you able to recommend a good broker service specialising in BTL?
• When it comes to consent to let from Kent Reliance am I obliged to update them every time we get a new tenant and post them a copy of the lease document?
• I have split up with my ex and we have moved back in with our respective parents and intend to divorce. What do I have to do to get Kent Reliance to give consent to let the property out to tenants?
• My mortgage is currently with Kent Reliance and am debating whether to sell or rent in the short term but don't have the equity for a buy to let mortgage at this time. What are my consent to let options currently?
• I am currently refinancing and investigating the flexibility of certain lenders when it comes to consent to let. Kent Reliance is one of the mortgage companies I am considering. How accommodating are they are far as consent to let is concerned?
