We wanted to use a property lawyer in Llandeilo for our house purchase. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our mortgage lenders Coventry Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
Lenders on the whole restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such criteria being that a firm must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the profile of firm, some have limited the number of firms they use to represent them. Be aware that Coventry Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Coventry Building Society Conveyancer Panel.

Me and my brother have a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Llandeilo. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Halifax. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Llandeilo and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
My husband and I may need to let out our Llandeilo garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Llandeilo conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Llandeilo do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
