Is the fact that my conveyancer in Holme On Spalding Moor is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Holme On Spalding Moor conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

My fiance and I may need to sub-let our Holme On Spalding Moor basement flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Holme On Spalding Moor conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Holme On Spalding Moor conveyancing lawyer is not around you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to obtain permission via your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining 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.
