Is the fact that my solicitor in Bosham is not on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Bosham conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
My partner and I have just purchased a property in Bosham. We have noticed several issues with the property which we suspect were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in Bosham?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Bosham. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner answers a form referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers ends up being inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Bosham.

Helen (my wife) and I may need to rent out our Bosham basement flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Bosham conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Your lease governs the relationship between the landlord and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will indicate if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Bosham do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.
