Recently asked questions relating to Kensington Mortgage consent to lease

• Under what scenarios will consent to let for a property be given via Kensington Mortgage? How long do you have to have had the mortgage before consent to let can be granted by Kensington Mortgage? In order to give you some perspective I am a young solicitor in a home purchased a few months ago. The perfect job offer involving relocation to Enfield permanently has come up. I would be interested in getting a consent to let in the first instance to be able to put a tenant in it to cover the expense of the Kensington Mortgage mortgage.

• I am looking for some initial insight to see consent to let is a feasible option. I completed the purchase of my flat nine months ago by porting an existing Kensington Mortgage mortgage product. My fixed rate came to an end 4 months ago. I'm currently considering moving in with a new partner who has his own property and mortgage also with Kensington Mortgage, which I would not seek to be added to. I don't wish to sell my property yet because I'm unsure of whether the new move will work out. I don't want to switch to a B2L mortgage yet for 2 reasons: 1) I need to find out whether letting my property is a viable option for myself and 2) I need to raise additional capital to satisfy the 65% LTV ratio required for a BTL mortgage. Ideally I would like to get a consent to let from Kensington Mortgage for 1-2 years in order to be more secure in becoming a possible landlord and to raise the capital. If at the end of the consent to let period I was unsure I would probably either sell my property or, depending on the new relationship working out, reoccupy it.
