My wife and I are due to complete on the purchase of a property in Ketton but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the vendor of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Nationwide will not permit this. Why were they approached?
The lawyer that is on a Nationwide approved list is required to disclose to Nationwide of any changes to the sale price.

I was advised by a number of property agents in Ketton to locate a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your services rather than another?

Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I want to sublet my leasehold apartment in Ketton. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Ketton do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the tenancy agreement.
