I want to let out my leasehold flat in Deeside. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
A small minority of properties in Deeside do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests 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 consent.

Most Deeside leasehold properties will incur a service bill for maintenance of the building set on behalf of the management company. Where you buy the property you will have to meet this contribution, normally in instalments during the year. This can be anything from several hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built blocks. In all likelihood there will be a ground rent to be met yearly, this is usually not a large amount, say approximately £50-£100 but you should to enquire as occasionally it could be many hundreds of pounds. It is important to be aware whether changing the roof or some other major work is anticipated that will be shared between the tenants and may well materially increase the the maintenance fees or require a specific payment. If a Deeside lease has less than 80 years it will affect the salability of the apartment. Check with your lender that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. A short lease means that you will most likely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the premises for two years before you are entitled to extend the lease.
