I'm purchasing my first flat in Wraysbury with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead.

I am intending to sublet my leasehold apartment in Wraysbury. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?

Even though your last Wraysbury conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain consent via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
