A small minority of properties in Charlton do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission.

Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
