Harry (my fiance) and I may need to let out our Petersham garden flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Petersham conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

Some leases for properties in Petersham do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests 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 permission.

Having spent years of dialogue we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Petersham. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

The tribunal concluded that the price payable by the Applicant for the new lease of the premises be £15,900 This case affected 1 flat. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 60.45 years.

Some months ago I was informed by my lender that their approved conveyancers work on no move no fee basis for conveyancing in Petersham. Our purchase fell through and now the solicitors want search fees! They are stating that the fees are independent!

By promising "no sale no fee" Petersham conveyancing firms are waiving their charges for any work done. We must stress this is not to be regarded as an insurance scheme. Disbursements aren’t covered – where the conveyancing practitioner have to pay money out to third parties, for example Petersham local search fees
