I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Alfreton I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to let out our Alfreton garden flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Alfreton conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

A lease governs relations between the landlord and you the flat owner; specifically, it will indicate if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Alfreton do not prevent subletting altogether – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the flat. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.

    In the main the outlay for major works tend not to be wrapped into the maintenance charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Alfreton require leaseholders to pay into a sinking fund and this is used to offset against larger repairs or maintenance.

The answer will be helpful as a) areas may result in problems for the building as the communal areas may start to deteriorate if repairs remain unpaid b) if the leasehold owners have an issue with the running of the building you will want to have full disclosure

My husband and I have an offer in principle from TSB who suggested that they will lend up to £300k. When do I need to instruct a lawyer for conveyancing? Alfreton is where we plan to move to.

It would be wise to instruct a lawyer now and ask them to create a file on your behalf. This will facilitate: 1) the selling agent to send out the Sales Memo to all parties 2) the seller’s conveyancing practitioner to submit the draft contract. That being said, do not ask your solicitor to start searches until you receive your valuation report via TSB and you are content to move forward.
