My wife and I may need to let out our North Cornelly 1st floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a North Cornelly conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
