Even though your last Torfaen conveyancing lawyer is not available you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain consent from your landlord or some other party before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without prior consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.

If a Torfaen lease has no more than eighty years it will impact the value of the property. Check with your bank that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth finding out what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the premises for a couple of years before you are eligible to exercise a lease extension. How much is the ground rent and service charge? Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge liability?
I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Torfaen.Conveyancing is yet to be initiated however I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as normal because all ground rent and service charges will be allottedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
