Whistletree Consent to Lease Example Support Desk Enquires

• I have recently rented out my two bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette and have gained a Consent to Let with my building society. Six months have now gone by and they have loaded my payments as forewarned. I am unwilling to port to a preferable product with them, as they will remove my consent to let. Were I to go with an alternative mortgage provider for example Whistletree, would I be required to apply for a Buy To Let loan or could I simply refinance and get consent to let?
• I currently have a mortgage offer with Whistletree. I am hoping to complete in the next few weeks, however I may potentially be moved abroad for work. How feasible is it for me to receive consent to let from Whistletree within a few months of completing. Do I have any other options?
• My boyfriend and I (co-owners) are thinking of remortgaging with Whistletree. I was conducting some research concerning consent to let from Whistletree to understand the rules around potentially letting our existing apartment out (probably in a in a couple of years time) if we moved away. The property in question was a first-time purchase for us about two years ago. We are living there at the moment.
• I have found myself in the accidental landlord category and didnt inform Whistletree. I had to vacate my apartment for family reasons, so now live in another part of the country. I originally tried to sell the flat, but prices were deflated, which meant I was in negative equity. This was three years ago in 2012, which has since seen the property price increase and has given me time to save. I am in now in a position where I could switch to a BTL mortgage and would like to remortgage at the same time. My concern is, will changing mortgage providers possibly alert Whistletree that I have been letting without consent to let? I appreciate that I shouldn’t have done what I did, but circumstances wouldn’t allow me to do anything else. Have I committed a criminal offence?
• I am looking for information on what are acceptable reasons for leasing a property when it comes to seeking consent to let from Whistletree? Can you assist?
• I have Whistletree mortgage and am thinking of letting the property. I understand I would require consent to let to do this...is that right ?
• I took a domestic mortgage with Whistletree - about 40% equity. I am considering relocating due to a promotion and enquiring whether consent to let would be given so I could let out the property?
• Is there a set or maximum term how long I could let my property out to a family member with consent to let from Whistletree. I no longer want to live in the area and want to buy a new home?
