Why would I instruct a Abbeymeads conveyancing firm when national alternatives are less expensive?
By all means make sure that you shop around for conveyancing costs in Abbeymeads and you should seek a reasonable fee calculation but don’t be focused with getting the lowest priced Abbeymeads conveyancer. Appointing the right conveyancer can mark the distinction between a smooth and a distressing home move. You need to ensure that you have expert advice from a specialist lawyer.

The Abbeymeads conveyancing firm handling our Abbeymeads conveyancing has identified a discrepancy when comparing the information in the valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor says that he is duty bound to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance right?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

I wish to let out my leasehold flat in Abbeymeads. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Notwithstanding that your last Abbeymeads conveyancing solicitor is no longer available you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to seek permission via your landlord or some other party before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining consent. Such consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
