As with many professional services, often input from connections can be worth their weight in gold.

Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement.

I wish to let out my leasehold apartment in Thamesmead. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?

Notwithstanding that your previous Thamesmead conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain consent from your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
