Consent-to-let Help for Newbury Building Society

Examples of recent questions relating to Newbury Building Society consent to let

• A friend of mine has been renting her house off the same landlady for nearly one and a half years. For the last year my friend has been receiving letters from Newbury Building Society (she hasn't opened them-it is clear from the envelope). Inititially she reposted them to her landlady's address. I was a bit suspicious as none of her landlady's mail was supposed to be going there. I decided to go to my friends house and phoned Newbury Building Society on her behalf. The gentleman I spoke to at Newbury Building Society had a long list of queries, the landlord’s name her current address, information on the tenant and then said they would investigate whether she had the appropriate mortgage and if she didn't it was an offence with no consent to let. Should my friend be concerned?
• We purchased a property in 2008 on shared ownership basis, I own 50% via bank loan and rent the other percentage. In early 2014 I bought a new property. I rented out my first house and moved to my new home. I got consent to let from my lender and I believed I had consent to let from the housing association. Earlier this week I was contacted by the housing association advising they had nothing on record to evidence I had attained permission to sublet. What do I do now?

Please can you suggest what I should be doing in what order?
