Harry (my fiance) and I may need to rent out our Stanford Le Hope basement flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Stanford Le Hope conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Your lease governs relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will indicate if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Stanford Le Hope do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property.

Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
