I would like to rent out my leasehold flat in Uxbridge. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
A lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will set out if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Uxbridge do not prevent subletting altogether – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the property. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.

My mother and father are unable to locate their Uxbridge land registry title on the website. They recall that back in the 60’s when they bought the property there were complications concerning Uxbridge not being identified on some systems.
Nearly all residences in Uxbridge should be revealed. Have you attempted a search with simply the postcode. Normally it will mention all the residences inside the postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will be there with a title number. If they bought 48 years ago it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The address might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title documentation which might be with your parent’s bank.
