My husband and I are purchasing a newly built apartment in Caister On Sea and my lawyer is advising me that she has to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the seller. I am under pressure to exchange and I don't want to delay deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Caister On Sea I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Caister On Sea for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
Frank (my husband) and I may need to sub-let our Caister On Sea ground floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Caister On Sea conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Caister On Sea conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the property. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain consent from your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
