We are selling our apartment in Pocklington. Will my conveyancing practitioner have to be required to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale.

My partner and I may need to let out our Pocklington basement flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Pocklington conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your previous Pocklington conveyancing lawyer is not available you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must obtain permission from your landlord or some other party before subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. The consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
