Helen (my wife) and I may need to rent out our Greenhithe garden flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Greenhithe conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Greenhithe conveyancing solicitor is no longer available you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the property. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must seek permission via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining permission. The consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Greenhithe conveyancing firm to help?
