My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Burnopfield and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my conveyancer. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The solicitor is legally required to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I am assisting my aunt sell her property in Burnopfield. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments was kept a compulsory part of selling a property. An energy performance certificate must be to hand prior to the property being placed on the market. This is not a task that law firms normally organise. If you are using a Burnopfield conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange EPC’s given their relationships with long established Burnopfield providers

I wish to sublet my leasehold flat in Burnopfield. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Even though your previous Burnopfield conveyancing lawyer is not available you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to obtain permission via your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. 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.

The best form of lease structure is where the freehold title is owned by the leaseholders. In this situation the leaseholders benefit from being in charge if their destiny and notwithstanding that a managing agent is often employed where the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. You should be aware if it is fewer than 80 years it will affect the value of the apartment. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are happy with residual term of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out what this will be. For most Burnopfieldlease extensions you would need to own the residence for 24 months in order to be entitled to exercise a lease extension.
