I am expecting a mortgage offer from Halifax. I would like to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Becontree Heath. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

We are selling our apartment in Becontree Heath. Will my conveyancer need to be required to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently in recent years.
Is it correct that all Becontree Heath CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their panels.
My partner and I have arranged the release of further monies on our mortgage from Lloyds as we intend to carry out alterations to our property in Becontree Heath. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Becontree Heath solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Lloyds don't usually instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds panel.

My partner and I may need to sub-let our Becontree Heath garden flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Becontree Heath conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A lease governs relations between the freeholder and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Becontree Heath do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.
