My fiance and I may need to sub-let our Hazel Grove 1st floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Hazel Grove conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Hazel Grove conveyancing solicitor is not around you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property.
