| May 2, 2020 at 16:56 | comment | added | Simon B | @Moo It all depends on what sort of lease this is. And so far, the OP hasn't enlightened us. | |
| May 2, 2020 at 10:27 | comment | added | user45974 | @SimonB no, its not standard - a residential tenant under a standard tenancy agreement in England and Wales does not have the right or entitlement to sell the right of occupancy on to another party without the express permission and involvement of the landlord. Theres nothing to “sell” in a standard tenancy, theres no inherent value in a residential tenancy agreement for a third party to acquire. | |

| May 1, 2020 at 14:24 | comment | added | Simon B | @Rup As a former leasehold tenant, I have sold on a residential long lease to someone else. It was done in the same way as selling a freehold property: through an estate agent. I did not need to ask permission of the freeholder. I assume this is standard with residential long leases in England & Wales. | |
| May 1, 2020 at 14:12 | comment | added | Rup | I'd be surprised if residential leases could be sold on like that. At least in the UK this would be a lease 'assignment', and requires the landlord's consent unless expressly permitted in the original tenancy. | |
