Me and my husband are purchasing a maisonette in Marford. My property lawyer is not on the bank conveyancing panel. Is it possible for me to retain my Marford conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender panel?
One will need to appoint a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the formalities when you need a mortgage to buy your home. They will conduct all the essential legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in place. You could appoint a Marford solicitor of your choosing. However, if the conveyancing practitioner selected is not a member of the bank approved list additional costs will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not historically applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.

I would like to sublet my leasehold apartment in Marford. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Notwithstanding that your previous Marford conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the premises. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to obtain consent from your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior permission. Such consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
