Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Trafford Park is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Frank (my husband) and I may need to let out our Trafford Park 1st floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Trafford Park conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Trafford Park do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review 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.
