Even though your last Ottery St Mary conveyancing lawyer is not around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the premises. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted.

The net result is you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
