Consent-to-let Help for Santander

Recently asked questions relating to Santander consent to lease

• I have a shared ownership property in Havering and will be looking to buy out the rest of the property. However, in the future I may be working in Kenya for a short period of time so would like to know what approach Santander take to consent to let as I am considering a remortgage with them. I am by no means sure that a mortgage can be obtained on my property but in the meantime can you provide further detail on their consent to let policy?
• I have a Santander mortgage on an apartment I own, in Lewisham. Last month, due to a change in my circumstances I decided to rent out this apartment, and rent another property in a different area within same loc. The personal situation that altered is that I started living with my partner, and the flat is too small for our needs. I do not want to try to sell the flat because the current market value is 20% less than when I bought the flat eight years ago. I wrote to Santander for a consent to let which was refused because they considered that I wanted to invest in the flat. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, as this is really stressing me out. The matter is urgentbecause there is already a prospective tenant waiting for this consent to let and may pull out.I look forward to hearing from you

• Me and my husband bought a apartment in Leeds and will be relocating to Cornwall at the beginning of February. I have a letting agency and tenant lined up. I was planning to keep quiet as I'm concerned Santander will insist that I change my mortgage rate over to a buy to let and am unable to afford that. I appreciate that it would be preferable to get a consent to let via Santander but am afraid if I come clean it would lead to a whole host of problems
