My fiance and I may need to let out our Stansted 1st floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Stansted conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Stansted do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests 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 permission.

There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
