Harry (my fiance) and I may need to let out our Whitwick ground floor flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Whitwick conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Whitwick do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse 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 consent.

I inherited a ground floor flat in Whitwick, conveyancing formalities finalised November 2004. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Whitwick with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2083

With just 58 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £21,900 and £25,200 plus costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
