Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Porthleven 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Porthleven conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

The lease governs relations between the landlord and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will say if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Porthleven do not contain subletting altogether – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the flat. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.

I bought a leasehold flat in Porthleven, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2004. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Porthleven with over 90 years remaining are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2085

With just 60 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £20,000 and £23,000 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
