My wife and I may need to let out our Cleckheaton ground floor flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Cleckheaton conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

Notwithstanding that your previous Cleckheaton conveyancing solicitor is not around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the premises. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain consent via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. The consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
