Constant to let interview

I'm planning to rent out my property which is currently on a residential mortgage with Skipton. I called to arrange consent to let and they have said I will need a telephone interview first which can't take place until next week.

Does anyone know what they will want to cover on the call? I understand they will increase the interest rate by 1% and charge £100.

I have a letting agent valuation well above 125% of the mortgage payments.

I'd like to get the property advertised this week. Is that a bit risky? I hope there will be no issues with the consent to let.

    No problems at all in advertising it. You'll need your consent to let in place before you agree for a tenant to move in but you can advertise now.

    Skipton will use a generic calculation that won't be related to your current mortgage product.

    Sorry, yes. Not sure how to edit that now.

    Do you mean they will do the 6% x 125% calculation?

    If so it also works out fine on that too.
