My fiance and I may need to sub-let our Staindrop 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Staindrop conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have since shut 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 last Staindrop conveyancing lawyer is not around you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain consent via your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without first obtaining permission. The consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
