Harry (my fiance) and I may need to rent out our Thornaby ground floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Thornaby conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your last Thornaby conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain permission from your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior permission. The consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
