As is the case with many professional services, often recommendations from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all suggest conveyancers to instruct.

My wife and I may need to let out our Falconwood garden flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Falconwood conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Falconwood conveyancing lawyer is not available you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you must seek permission from your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without prior consent. The consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
