Hello, I am a resident live-in landlord renting to two lodgers (lender permission granted). Looking to move abroad for work (US). I have a 5 year fixed mortgage. 4 more years left on the mortgage.

Do I need to request consent to let if I keep renting to two lodgers only and keep my bedroom and return for visits only? After 4 years when the rate expires, will I be able to switch to a buy-to-let (assuming still abroad)

If I request consent to let for the entire flat what is the likelihood of this being granted for the remainder of the mortgage tenure?

Thank you,
