I plan to contact Ipswich Building Society to obtain consent to let out my house in Ipswich Building Society.

- In what circumstances will consent to let for a property be granted by Ipswich Building Society? How long do you have to have had the mortgage before consent to let can be obtained from Ipswich Building Society?

I am looking at seeking consent to let initially in order to renting the property out to cover the costs of the Ipswich Building Society mortgage.
- What is the process for obtaining consent to let from Ipswich Building Society? What evidence do they ask for? is there a fee to pay? Is consent generally limited in time and if so, for how long?

- My house had been tenanted for three years between 2010-2013 while working overseas. I have a letter dated June 2010 from my lender granting consent to let. In the letter it clearly stipulates that the consent to let is valid for "the remaining term of the mortgage". I have not remortgaged since the letter was sent. I now plan to move house and rent out my existing house. However, my financial advisor has suggested that the 2010 consent to let letter may not satisfy the new lender Ipswich Building Society for the house I intend to buy.Your view would be appreciated
