My husband and I may need to sub-let our West Byfleet garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a West Byfleet conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in West Byfleet do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see 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 consent.

Most West Byfleet leasehold apartments will have a service bill for maintenance of the block invoiced on behalf of the landlord. Should you purchase the flat you will have to pay this charge, usually quarterly during the year. This can vary from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large communal grounds. In all probability there will be a rentcharge to be met yearly, ordinarily this is not a large figure, say approximately £50-£100 but you should to enquire it because sometimes it can be prohibitively expensive. If a West Byfleet lease has no more than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the flat. It is worth checking with your lender that they are content with remaining years on the lease. A short lease means that you will almost definitely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the property for a couple of years in order to be legally able to extend the lease. It is important to be aware if changing the roof or some other major work is due shortly to be shared by the leaseholders and will dramatically increase the the maintenance costs or require a one time invoice.
