Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Romiley I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to rent out our Romiley garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Romiley conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
The lease governs the relationship 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 specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Romiley do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the flat. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the sublease.
