    You should have received the lease when you purchased.

    Are you sure the LR do not have it? It would not be listed where you looked before - it would be referred to within the leasehold Title (which you buy for £3 if you don't already have it.) Usually a comment like 'copy filed'.

    There is a bit on it that says:

    Restriction: no transfer or lease of the registered estate by the proprietor of the registered estate is to be registered without a written consent signed by the proprietor for the time being of the charge dated ....

    i assume thats solicitor speak for you need permission.
    Yes. But it refers to "the proprietor for the time being of the charge dated...."

    Not the lease.

    So you need to find & read the Charge dated xxxx. Does it then say 'copy filed'? If so, the LR has a copy which you can apply for £7 here.

    Yes.
    No! The OP isn't trying to "[register a] transfer or lease of the registered estate" - the charge is irrelevant.

    They want to sublet, create a tenancy. The mortgage lender is saying "we'll only give you permission if you have the freeholder's permission first". I'm saying "check the lease to see whether you actually NEED the freeholder's permission", since if the lease has no such requirement then the mortgage lender might remove theirs.
