Frank (my husband) and I may need to let out our Heckmondwike ground floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Heckmondwike conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

Your lease dictates relations between the landlord and you the flat owner; specifically, it will indicate if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Heckmondwike do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the property. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.

Does the lease include onerous restrictions? In the main the cost for major works are not included within service charges, albeit that some managing agents in Heckmondwike ask tenants to contribute towards a reserve fund created for the specific intention of building a fund for major repairs or maintenance.
