It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

Even though your previous Yorkshire Dales conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the property. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must seek consent via your landlord or some other party before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior consent. Such consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.
