Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Parbold 1st floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Parbold conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Notwithstanding that your previous Parbold conveyancing lawyer is not around you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the premises. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to seek permission from your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting.

If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
