I wish to rent out my leasehold flat in Desford. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Even though your last Desford conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the premises. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain consent from your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without first obtaining permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.

How long is the Lease? Please note that where the lease has fewer than 80 years it will affect the value of the flat.

We are hoping to buy a four bedroom flatin Desford with a home loan from a lender. We wish to instruct our lawyer in Desford but our mortgage company inform us now that he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the our lender panel solicitors or keep our Desford conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The lender home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Desford : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
