Harry (my fiance) and I may need to rent out our Stamford Bridge basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Stamford Bridge conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Your lease dictates the relationship between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will set out if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Stamford Bridge do not prevent subletting altogether – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the sublease.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Stamford Bridge - Sample of Questions you should consider before Purchasing

    Plenty Stamford Bridge leasehold flats will incur a service bill for maintenance of the block invoiced on behalf of the landlord. Where you buy the property you will have to pay this amount, usually in instalments throughout the year. This can differ from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built buildings. There will also be a rentcharge for you to pay yearly, this is usually not a exorbitant figure, say about £50-£100 but you need to check it because occasionally it could be surprisingly expensive. You should be aware that where the lease has less than eighty years it will affect the marketability of the flat. Check with your bank that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. A short lease means that you will most likely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the residence for a couple of years in order to be eligible to exercise a lease extension. Who manages the building?
