Which lenders allow indefinite or maximum consent to let...

It seems to be a standard 2 years, but which lenders allow a continuation beyond this (those that charge a higher %?)
Is it worth having a residential mortgage with a buy to let lender (Nationwide/HSBC etc) should the switch need to be made to a BTL mortgage at the end of the two years?
Thanks,

    I shouldn't think any, as the CTL is only meant to be a stop-gap.  If you change mortgage product, it will need to go through underwriting again anyway.  No guarantee the present lender will say yes.

    CTL is a temporary arrangement at the lenders discretion. Possibly 3 years maximum. After which there well be an interest loading or requirement to switch to BTL.

    I don't think there are any lenders that grant CTL indefinitely.  Usually you have to apply for 12 months at a time and eventually the lender will tell you to get a BTL mortgage.

    Nationwide a BTL lender? Nope. It has a separate off-balance sheet subsidiary called The Mortgage Works.

  • I have indefinite consent to let with The One Account but this from years ago and I don't think they are taking on new customers anymore.
