My partner and I may need to let out our Penylan basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Penylan conveyancing firm in 2001 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?

A small minority of properties in Penylan do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments? The prefered form of lease structure is where the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this situation the leaseholders benefit from control and even though a managing agent is usually employed where the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.
