Halifax consent to let - fix rate

Options
My fix deal runs out early 2016 and I'm planning on fixing for another 4 years with Halifax, hopefully rates will still be low at that time.

However, in 2018 I might want to move for a couple of years to a different city, and rent a flat there. How difficult is to get consent to let from Halifax under these circumstances? - assuming that monthly rent payments would be about £300 higher than the mortgage payments? I would be coming back at the end of the two years to live in my property.

Thank you.

    Lender attitude to anything in two to three years is difficult, if not impossible to predict.
