First Direct Consent to Let

Hi. I have just read some old posts about First Direct not giving consent to let properties and I wondered if this was still the case.
I have a fixed rate mortgage and have just accepted a job abroad, initially for a year. I can only do this if my mortgage is covered through rental income and therefore need to rent out my house. What if first Direct say 'no' - what are my options? I am meant to be leaving in 6 weeks....

    1) Don't let the property out.

    2) Let the property out and hope you don't get caught.

    3) Change to a BTL mortgage.
