Applications for Consent to Assign/Sublet or to Make Alterations

Leasehold properties are often subject to rules which require the owner to obtain consent before doing something with the property. They can include:

  • consents to sublet, transfer or share a property
  • consents to assign
  • consents to carry out works at a property
  • consents to apply for licences and permits
  • consents to carry out certain activities and trades at a property

Our property litigation solicitors regularly advise property owners and decision-makers on how to make and respond to applications for consents.

Proper Procedure is Key

The rules around consents are complicated and must be adhered to strictly. Timescales are often very tight and decision-makers will often have only a few days to respond.

The consequences of not making or responding to consent correctly can be significant. In the worst case, a property owner may find itself unable to do what it wants with the property, or a decision-maker may need to pay damages to a property owner for not making a decision properly. 

A well-made application or response can make all the difference.
