I am intending to sublet my leasehold apartment in Uxbridge. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A small minority of properties in Uxbridge do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

Nearly all properties in Uxbridge should appear. Have you attempted a search to simply the postcode. Ordinarily it should identify all the houses and flats inside the postcode. Where registered it will be there with a title number. If they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The property could still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title papers which could be with your parent’s mortgage company.
