My lawyer has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Bryncoch. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner has advised that he must ensure that the lender is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their conditions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the mortgage company are the client. The appropriate lender specifications have to be complied with.

Am I right to be wary by brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local Bryncoch conveyancing company?
As with lots of service providers, often referrals from relatives can be most helpful. Yet there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may put forward lawyers to select. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there might be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to select your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that the majority of lenders have an approved list of conveyancers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
I am intending to sublet my leasehold apartment in Bryncoch. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Even though your previous Bryncoch conveyancing solicitor is not around you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the property. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to seek consent from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior permission. The consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.

Me and my partner are first time buyers just having agreed a price on a property in Bryncoch, and need to get solicitors lined up. We have used the various rating based websites and the results are from all across the the UK. Is it important to have a Bryncoch conveyancing practitioner local to your potential new home? We are fine to do everything electronically, but I assume at some stage we will need to visit the property lawyer's office to sign papers?
The solicitor does not have to be in Bryncoch, but opting for local means that you have the option to visit their offices if required, by way of example, if a signature is needed urgently. Also, a Bryncoch solicitor is likely to be familiar with local agents and (if the vendor has chosen a local solicitor) with them, which should help keep things moving faster.
