Recently asked questions relating to RBS- First Active consent to lease

• My fiancee and I are first-time buyers, currently renting. We want to buy a maisonette in Croydon. We want to move there, but will need to wait for a job - perhaps 2-3 years. Do we need to get a buy-to-let loan? Could we have a residential mortgage with RBS- First Active, even though we won't be moving in straight away? Or could we move there for a short period of time , then start renting it with consent to let from RBS- First Active?
