Me and my partner are due to exchange buying a property in Marple Bridge but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors of £3k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet UBS will not agree to this. Why were they notified?
Your solicitor being on a UBS approved list is required to disclose to UBS of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to disclose the price change to UBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, UBS and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Marple Bridge.

It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Marple Bridge took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I would like to sublet my leasehold apartment in Marple Bridge. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Notwithstanding that your previous Marple Bridge conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to seek permission from your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior consent. Such consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
