• Next month I will be moving to Hong Kong. Rather than sell my house, I would like to lease it out, just in case things don’t go as expected.

• I was just looking for guidance on whether I will be allowed to switch a residential mortgage with West Bromwich Mortgage Company to a consent to let. It will be less than 70% ltv and it would alter from capital and interest repayment to interest only?

The rental income is not enough to cover the mortgage so we send back funds each month to make up the shortfall. Yesterday our lender got in touch telling me that because the property is being let out and has been for almost two years we will have to pay 1.5% interest in addition to our current mortgage rate. We could sell the apartment but this will be difficult as I am so far away. Would it be possible to remortgage with West Bromwich Mortgage Company and get consent to let?
