Hanley Economic Building Society consent to let: Q and A’s

• Last year my husband and I purchased our council flat, in London,recently valued at £240k. It was paid for in full from our own finances, unencumbered. We are prohibited from selling (without repaying back a significant amount of the discount) before five years have gone by. Regardless, we wish to retain it as a investment property to lease out. We are considering taking out a mortgage with Hanley Economic Building Society. Will consent to let be given?
• We are in possession of a mortgage offer from Hanley Economic Building Society, but we are running up against a serious block. My husband is a teacher in a boarding school, whereby accommodation is a perk of the job. We wish to buy a one bed flat with a view to joining the property ladder, and rent it out while we're based at the school. I had thought Hanley Economic Building Society would grant consent to let from the outset of the mortgage. It is now looking as though we may not be able to get consent to let. Do you have any advice?
• I'm looking to apply to Hanley Economic Building Society for consent to let on my existing residential property in Croydon.

Is this something Hanley Economic Building Society will consider consent to let for or is that out of their criteria?
