My offer was accepted on a house in Cleator on 24/12/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, all came back fine. Solicitor appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer.

There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I want to sublet my leasehold flat in Cleator. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?

Some leases for properties in Cleator do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
