My wife and I may need to sub-let our Goffs Oak garden flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Goffs Oak conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Goffs Oak do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references.
