I was recommended to a conveyancer who has quoted £1350 for fixed fee conveyancing in Market Bosworth. I’m hoping to downsize from a newly refurbished house for £250,000. Is this overpriced? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Market Bosworth?
The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you are prepared to expend time contrasting fee on a like for like basis you might shave off some of the expense by as much as £125.

My lawyer has uncovered a defect with the lease for the property we are buying in Market Bosworth. The other side have offered defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer has advised that he must be satisfied that the lender is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the lender are the client. The appropriate lender conditions have to be complied with.
Please explain the implications if my solicitor is removed from the Co-operative Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Market Bosworth?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

My fiance and I may need to rent out our Market Bosworth ground floor flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Market Bosworth conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Market Bosworth do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests 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.
