What is a consent to sell letter?

A consent to sell letter is a document from your mortgage lender confirming that you are allowed to sell your property under specific conditions.

It is usually required when:

• You are in arrears
• The property is in negative equity
• The sale may not fully repay the mortgage

The letter will outline what the lender agrees to, including how any shortfall will be handled.

Your solicitor will use this document to proceed with the sale and ensure all conditions are met. Without consent, the sale may not be able to complete.

Understanding your lender’s position early can help avoid delays and uncertainty.
