Handelsbanken consent to let: Q and A’s

• I was thinking of renting out my home and generate some income during my vacation. I only plan to be away for ten days. Will consent to let be needed from Handelsbanken?

• We are a newly married couple and we have identified a house in Wandsworth that we like and want to get a mortgage with Handelsbanken. The issue is that I am pregnant and about to give birth very soon as I am on my 9th month of pregnancy. This wouldn't make it impossible for us to move right away so we are contemplating living with my mum and dad for about six months. Meanwhile, if we get this property, we can lease it out. I was just wondering how will that work out? Are we likely to get consent to let from Handelsbanken
• I let my apartment last year and didn't tell Handelsbanken. I have a five year homeowner mortgage (large amount of equity in it, never defaulted) and want to let Handelsbanken know and get consent to let for the remaining two years of my mortgage . I am unsure how to go about this.
• I have been renting out my flat to students for three years but not on a BTL mortgage as I naively considered that you only required a BTL if you had more than one property. In trying to buy a second property, I found that I should have obtained consent to let all along from my lender Handelsbanken. I'm curious as to whether I can now ask Handelsbanken for a consent to let?
