Me and my husband are buying a leasehold flat in East Beckton. My property lawyer has never been on on the mortgage company approved panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my East Beckton conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank approved list?
One will need to have a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the formalities when you need a loan to purchase your home. They will carry out all the relevant due diligence on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You can select a East Beckton lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, if the lawyer selected is not on the bank approved list further fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so where your solicitor has not previously sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. East Beckton is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in East Beckton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in East Beckton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in East Beckton may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

My fiance and I may need to rent out our East Beckton ground floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a East Beckton conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Even though your last East Beckton conveyancing lawyer is not available you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must seek consent via your landlord or some other party before subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior consent. The consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
