Harry (my fiance) and I may need to sub-let our Pontllanfraith garden flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Pontllanfraith conveyancing practice in 2003 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?
