My husband and I may need to let out our Farnham Royal basement flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Farnham Royal conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

Notwithstanding that your last Farnham Royal conveyancing lawyer is not around you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the property. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to obtain permission via your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior permission. Such consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

I inherited a 2 bed flat in Farnham Royal, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Comparable flats in Farnham Royal with over 90 years remaining are worth £195,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2089

With 64 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £14,300 and £16,400 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
