My house in Brecon Beacons is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will my solicitor need to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Brecon Beacons. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Brecon Beacons
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.
Am I better off to go with a Brecon Beacons conveyancing lawyer based in the vicinity that I am buying? I have an old university friend who can deal with the conveyancing but his firm is located approximately 350kilometers away.
The benefit of a local Brecon Beacons conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign documents, deliver your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you.

I would like to sublet my leasehold flat in Brecon Beacons. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
Even though your previous Brecon Beacons conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the property. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to seek consent via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior consent. Such consent should 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.
