Permission to let - Leasehold Property

skipper00

Hi,
I am going to let my flat in the future. Once asking the bank for permission to let, they have asked me to provide consent to let letter from the freeholder as its a residential mortgage.
I have asked the freeholder to provide me the letter but the freeholder is an individual and does not have a clue about it.
Can someone provide me the correct context or a link to any template/doc which i can share with the freeholder and get them to sign it and send it to me.
Your help in this regards will be appreciated,

thanks,

Dear Mr Skipper,


Re: (address of flat)


Further to your request of (date of request), this is to confirm the granting of consent to let the above leasehold property.


Yours sincerely








Mr Bloggs (Freeholder)

Have you checked the lease to see if subletting is permitted? And also checked that the buildings insurance allows it?

(How many flats are there in the building?)


For example, if the freeholder gives you consent, but the lease doesn't allow it - in theory, other leaseholders could take legal action against the freeholder.

And if there's a 'mutual enforceability' clause in the lease, the other leaseholders might be able to take legal action against you.

20 out of 26 flats are already on let so looks like there is no issue with that. Its just the case, nobody ever bothered asking consent from the landlord which is why landlord has no clue about it.. i have copied in the context from the previous response and created a template/document and have sent it to the freeholder now. fingers crossed
