Top Five Questions relating to Bank of Scotland Private consent to lease

• I am looking for some precautionary advice as to whether consent to let is a sensible option. I completed the purchase of my flat 8 months ago by transferring an existing Bank of Scotland Private mortgage product. My fixed rate ended four months ago. I'm currently deliberating moving in with a new partner who has his own property and mortgage also with Bank of Scotland Private, which I would not seek to be added to. I don't want to sell my property yet because I'm unsure of whether the new move will work out. I don't want to move to a buy to let mortgage yet for 2 reasons: 1) I need to discover if it is a marketable property with rents higher than my mortgage payments and 2) I need to find extra capital to satisfy the 65% LTV ratio required for a buy to let loan. It would be preferable to get a consent to let from Bank of Scotland Private for 1-2 years in order to be more secure in becoming a possible landlord and to generate the capital. If at the end of the consent to let period I was unsure I would probably either sell my property or, depending on the new relationship working out, resume living there.
