I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in March. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

I want to sublet my leasehold apartment in Norton. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?

Notwithstanding that your previous Norton conveyancing solicitor is no longer available you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must seek consent from your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
