Jane (my partner) and I may need to rent out our Moor Park basement flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a Moor Park conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your previous Moor Park conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must seek permission from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without prior consent. The consent must not not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can I make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Moor Park conveyancing firm to represent me?

Being a leasehold owner I am on the hook for a service charge for my first floor flat in Moor Park. Due to redundancy and personal issues I fell into arrears with remittance. I negotiated a settlement schedule but there is still around £2000 due to be paid.
I now wish to dispose of the property and I am nervous that this could hold me back if I have to discharge the arrears in advance. Do I have to settle before - is this viable?
You should check with the lawyer carrying out your Moor Park conveyancing but one option might be to arrange for the arrears to be passed to the purchasers. The contractual price due would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They would then deal with the fees after completion of the purchase.
