Questions and Answers: Whistletree consent to let

• I have been asked by my proposed tenants for a letter by way of my ‘consent to let’ from Whistletree, my bank. Why would they ask for this

• I have a Whistletree mortgage on an apartment I own, in Greenwich. Last month, due to a change in personal circumstances I decided to let out the flat, and rent a house in a different area within same loc. The state of affairs that changed is that my partner moved in, and the flat is too small for our needs. I would rather not sell the flat because the current market value is 20% less than the market value when I bought the property in 2007. I contacted Whistletree for a consent to let which was turned down as they considered that I wanted to invest in the flat. The whole process was very confusing. There is a sense of urgencyas there is a prospective tenant waiting for this consent to let and could withdraw.Please call me to discuss
• We are are looking to join the property ladder, currently renting. We would ideally like to buy a garden flat in Barnet.

Would it be possible to have a 1st time buyer mortgage with Whistletree, even though we won't be moving in straight away? Alternatively could we move there for a few of months, then start renting it with consent to let from Whistletree? I'm only interested in options that are fully legal, and have no intention of contravening the terms of the Whistletree mortgage.
