Newbury Mortgage Services consent to let: Q and A’s

• I have a 2 bed leasehold flat with a Newbury Mortgage Services mortgage and have a lodger sharing with me. I am about to relocate to Merton and will look for a property to rent. My lodger doesn't want to move out so is willing to pay a higher rent. Do I have to apply for consent to let via Newbury Mortgage Services?
• We are currently in Hong Kong and renting out our apartment in Westminster. This was unplanned but an opportunity came up and we took it. The rent achieved on the property is insufficient to cover the mortgage so we send back funds each month to make up the difference. Last week our lender got in touch informing me that because the property is being let out and has been for nearly three years we will have to pay 1.5% interest on top of our current mortgage rate. One option would be to sell the apartment but this will be far from easy as I am so far away. Would it be possible to remortgage with Newbury Mortgage Services and get consent to let?
