Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Brimsdown who acted for me two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from Alliance & Leicester . I am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online conveyancer?

Helen (my wife) and I may need to let out our Brimsdown 1st floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Brimsdown conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Brimsdown 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 non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to obtain permission from your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
