Notwithstanding that your last Mundesley conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the premises. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain consent via your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without first obtaining consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably turned down. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
