I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Bures. 95% of the appartments have already been sold. Do I need carry out the local searches as part of conveyancing in Bures?

If you getting a loan, your lender will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Bures conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Bures.

I am expecting a DIP from Coventry BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Bures solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Bures solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.

Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Bures solicitor - who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Lloyds will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Lloyds will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Bures postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Bures.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to rent out our Bures ground floor flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Bures conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

Even though your previous Bures conveyancing solicitor is no longer available you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to obtain permission via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior consent. The consent must not not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.

    The best form of lease arrangement is where the freehold title is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this arrangement the tenants enjoy being in charge if their destiny and even though a managing agent is usually employed if it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent retained by the leaseholders.
