My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Blakeney. I I am struggling to find out if they are accepted on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing you should do is e-mail the lawyer and ask them if they can act for the lender. Alternatively you should get in touch with Clydesdale who may be able to help.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Blakeney benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it may put at risk my loan with Virgin Money. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Blakeney is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Even where you use a solicitor outside Blakeney you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Blakeney may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to let out our Blakeney 1st floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Blakeney conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your last Blakeney conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain permission via your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining permission. The consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
