I hired a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Breaston yesterday. Going through the small print I noteI am liable for charges even if the movefalls through. Would I be best advised to instruct an on-line lawyer promising no move no charge conveyancing in Breaston?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to neutralise the transactions that abort. You should be mindful that these promotions rarely cover expenses e.g. Breaston conveyancing search fees.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Breaston off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Leeds Building Society. Is it usual for Leeds Building Society to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Breaston is approved on their conveyancing panel? Leeds Building Society have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Aldermore have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a property in Breaston has been agreed to, now what?
Your property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Contact Aldermore or the financial adviser and finish off any relevant forms. Aldermore will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Aldermore will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Breaston.

I wish to sublet my leasehold flat in Breaston. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A small minority of properties in Breaston do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
