I have been recommended by three or four local estate agents in Pensysarn to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your site over and above a competitor’s?
We refuse to offer any commission for sending work our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to rent out our Pensysarn garden flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Pensysarn conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your last Pensysarn conveyancing solicitor is not around you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain consent from your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without prior permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
