We wanted to use a property lawyer in Eastbourne for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our bank Lloyds TSB Bank won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Pre- 2008 most lenders had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Eastbourne conveyancing firms would have been on most bank panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more data from law firms concerning their operations and their employees as well as establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of conveyancing. Many Eastbourne conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Eastbourne is one of the many locations where the solicitors we recommend are are authorised to act for Lloyds TSB Bank.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to let out our Eastbourne 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Eastbourne conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have closed 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 Eastbourne conveyancing solicitor is not around you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain permission from your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.
