My husband and I may need to sub-let our Rutland basement flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Rutland conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Some leases for properties in Rutland do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold 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.

I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet the mortgage company will not permit this. Why were they notified?

Any conveyancer that is on a lender approved list is obliged to disclose to the mortgage company of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to your mortgage company then they would have to discontinue acting for you and the bank.
