My fiance and I may need to rent out our Battle 1st floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Battle conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Even though your last Battle conveyancing lawyer is not available you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the premises. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to seek permission via your landlord or some other party before subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without prior permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably turned down. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
