I have heard that First Direct don't provide Consent to Let permission. Is there anyone here who is with FirstDirect and recently managed to get a Consent To Let permission?

    FD have the exact same rules as HSBC albeit, they do a lot of manual underwriting and yes they are probably a little more stricter than their parent company.
