My Hirwaun conveyancer has uncovered an inconsistency when comparing the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer has advised that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s course or action right?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

I am intending to rent out my leasehold apartment in Hirwaun. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
The lease governs relations between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will say if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Hirwaun do not contain subletting altogether – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the flat. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the sublease.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer.
