Jane (my partner) and I may need to sub-let our Heaviley and Offerton 1st floor flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Heaviley and Offerton conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Notwithstanding that your previous Heaviley and Offerton conveyancing lawyer is not around you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must obtain consent via your landlord or some other party before subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.

I inherited a garden flat in Heaviley and Offerton, conveyancing was carried out in 1995. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent properties in Heaviley and Offerton with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2088

With just 62 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £17,100 and £19,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.

Why am I unable to complete our conveyancing in Heaviley and Offerton on Easter Monday?

Because on completion the funds will be transferred electronically between the banks of the purchaser and owner’s conveyancing practitioner and at present this can only happen on a working day. So you can't complete on a saturday or sunday either.
