Harry (my fiance) and I may need to let out our Pentonville 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Pentonville conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

Your lease dictates relations between the landlord and you the flat owner; specifically, it will say if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Pentonville do not prevent subletting altogether – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the flat. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the tenancy agreement.

Having spent years of negotiations we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Pentonville. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
