  • I am interested to know how straightforward it would be to get consent to let from Investec.

  • I have a garden flat in Enfield let out which has a 62 year lease. Mortgage adviser said I should refinance (currently with Investec) as a buy to let rather than consent to let and release 65-70k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income would give me a budget of £210k. Not much about in Haringey for me to buy my own property. A lease extension will be approximately 19k. Rent out with consent to let or sell the flat?
