Situation: I am moving abroad for work. Potentially for many years. However I will be on a 3 month trial period (legal for all new jobs in Germany).

LTV: 53%
Letting for: £750
Current mortgage payment: £430 @ 2.34%

Consent to let:
My fixed rate with Nationwide is up 1st December. I called Nationwide and asked about consent to let. They said if they give consent, I would not be able to switch to a different mortgage. This means a rate of 4% + (1% after 6 months).
  • Can I get a new residential mortgage, and then apply for consent to let?

  • What are my chances of getting a BTL mortgage if I have just moved abroad for a new job (that includes a 3 month trial period)?
  • If a need to come back, can I move back in to my property before the BTL mortgage is over?

Any other thoughts or advice is welcome.

Many thanks
