We hired a Bagillt based lawyer for my conveyancing in Bagillt recently. Upon checking the Terms I notewe are responsible for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or select an on-line solicitor practice promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Bagillt?

My husband and I wish to acquire a newbuild flat in Bagillt with a homeloan from Halifax.We have a Bagillt conveyancing lawyer but Halifax informed us he's not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Halifax panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Halifax panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Halifax use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Halifax approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Halifax

I would like to let out my leasehold apartment in Bagillt. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Notwithstanding that your last Bagillt conveyancing solicitor is not around you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain consent via your landlord or some other party before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior permission. Such consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
