My wife and I may need to rent out our Wheathampstead ground floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Wheathampstead conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
The lease governs the relationship between the landlord and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will set out if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Wheathampstead do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the tenancy agreement.

The majority of Wheathampstead leasehold properties will incur a service charge for the upkeep of the block set on behalf of the management company. If you acquire the apartment you will have to pay this contribution, usually quarterly during the year. This can vary from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large common grounds. In all probability there will be a rentcharge to be met yearly, ordinarily this is not a exorbitant sum, say approximately £50-£100 but you need to enquire it because occasionally it could be surprisingly expensive. Best to be warned whether redecorating or some other major work is anticipated that will be shared by the tenants and will materially increase the the service costs or result in a specific payment. The prefered form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this scenario the tenants have control and even though a managing agent is often retained if the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.
