My fiance and I may need to sub-let our Bethnal Green basement flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Bethnal Green conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Bethnal Green do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.
