Jane (my partner) and I may need to rent out our Caernarfon ground floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Caernarfon conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
