My sealed bid on a property in South Oxhey has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a flat, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in South Oxhey. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Bank of Ireland going?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, South Oxhey conveyancing search charges, etc).

Jane (my partner) and I may need to let out our South Oxhey basement flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a South Oxhey conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Your lease dictates relations between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in South Oxhey do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.
