Consent-to-let Help for The Royal Bank of Scotland plc First Active

Common questions relating to RBS- First Active consent to lease

• For the last few months I have been letting out my flat in Hillingdon. I didn't request consent to let. I moved to Aldershot for work and couldn't do a commute but was nervous that RBS- First Active would charge me a small fortune so I decided to take the risk. I'm looking to do the right thing now... basically carry on letting it but with consent. What course of action do I take now?
• My plan is to let my garden flat out from mid June next year as I will be going for a few months. I have a residential mortgage with RBS- First Active. I will not be letting for more than 6 months. Most likely it will be 4-5 months. I have been told to get permission from my freeholder first? Please can you advise what I should be doing in what order?
• I have a flat in Harrow with a RBS- First Active mortgage but have not lived there for a while. My dad moved in but pays no rent. I currently live in rented premises and am looking to purchase a house. I have identified a perfect property at an attractive price. I have enough of a deposit to put down on the house I am interested in but would be a financial strain to pay enough off the old property to switch it to a BTL mortgage simultaneously. Can I change the current RBS- First Active mortgage for my old property into a consent to let and use my reserves to pay a larger deposit for the domestic mortgage on the property that I am looking to purchase?

• If we request a consent to let letter by RBS- First Active will we be forced to switch to buy to let mortgage?
