Me and my partner are soon to complete buying a property in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor of £2k taking the form of a deduction in the price.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to rent out our Llanfairpwllgwyngyll ground floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Llanfairpwllgwyngyll conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
A lease governs relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will set out if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the sublease.
