Estate agent didn't tell me I wouldn't be able to rent the flat out I was buying.

To throw in a bleedin obvious question;
are you sure you (or your solicitor) are reading the lease corrctly in respect of the prohibition on sub-letting? I;ve owned four leasehold flats, and while each of their leases said there was no short-term sub letting allowed, the precise wording was along the lines of 'no sub letting less than a 6-month AST,...)

in other words, no holiday lets or short term benefit/B&B type tenants.

So make sure you have a problem before you walk away; as I said, my last 4 leases have been consistent on this point, and i've not experienced a lease condition like yours...?

It's all about context. If it's an advert for an "investment property", it doesn't mean some random bloke in the supermarket buying a tin of food for Fido.

People probably take more care in selecting a can of dog food. They may well read the label before purchasing to ascertain it's contents.;)

Expecting an agent to tell you anything more that how lovely the fireplace is, is a big mistake.


Anyone can open an estate agent.

I find an axe works well, but a chainsaw does give satisfaction. Messy, though.
