Top Five Questions relating to Family Building Society consent to lease

  • My house had been let to students for three years between 2009-2012 while employed Amsterdam. I have a letter dated January 2010 from the lender granting consent to let. In the letter it explicitly stipulates that the consent to let is valid for "the remaining term of the mortgage". I have not refinanced since the letter was sent. I now plan to move house and rent out my existing house.
