Helen (my wife) and I may need to sub-let our Shrewton ground floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Shrewton conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Shrewton conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain consent via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. Such consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.

Is anyone aware of any major works on the horizon that could increase the service fees? Many Shrewton leasehold flats will be liable to pay a service bill for maintenance of the block levied on behalf of the landlord. Should you acquire the property you will have to meet this liability, usually quarterly accross the year. This may differ from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large communal areas. In all likelihood there will be a ground rent to be met yearly, normally this is not a exorbitant amount, say around £25-£75 but you need to enquire it because occasionally it can be surprisingly expensive. If a Shrewton lease has less than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the salability of the property. It is worth checking with your bank that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. A short lease means that you will most likely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the residence for two years in order to be eligible to exercise a lease extension.
