Helen (my wife) and I may need to sub-let our Colney Hatch ground floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Colney Hatch conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Even though your last Colney Hatch conveyancing lawyer is not available you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the premises. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to seek consent via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior permission. Such consent must not not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.
