Letting out my property.Contact freeholder.

[Deleted User]

Hi All,

Thanks in advance.

I am about to complete on a flat that I intend to let out.

My lease states that 'I may not sublet part only of my flat'.

Now this is all it states.

I read this as though I have no restriction apart from the above.

My freeholder is in this for a business and charges the earth for everything.They are advising in there legal pack that I must contact them if I intend to let out my property.

I don't see why I have to advise them and no doubt have to pay a fee.

Am I correct in this?

Many thanks

It depends entirely on what it says in the lease.

If the lease doesn't state that that you need the Freeholder's consent... then you don't.

(I always ask my solicitor this type of question during the conveyancing process - in case he sees something in the lease that I don't.)
