I want to rent out my leasehold apartment in Deganwy. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?

The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Deganwy do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the sublease.
