Jane (my partner) and I may need to rent out our Attleborough ground floor flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Attleborough conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Attleborough do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests 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.

Remember, in most cases you will need to own the residence for a couple of years in order to be legally able to extend the lease.
