My wife and I are acquiring a brand new duplex in Hindhead and my conveyancer is informing me that she is duty bound to the bank to disclose incentives from the developer. I am under pressure to exchange contracts and I would rather not prolong matters. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to let out our Hindhead basement flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Hindhead conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Hindhead conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain consent from your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
