Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Keelby is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Keelby 1st floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Keelby conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Your lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will say if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Keelby do not contain subletting altogether – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.

Me and my fiance have recently had an offer agreed on a house and had an appointment on Tuesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to appointing a property lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of solicitors then we will have to pay out an additional charge of £250+. This is because they will then have to select a property lawyer to act for them in addition to the one we appoint for ourselves and we are liable for their invoice. I have requested Nationwide to furnish me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?
You should ask Nationwide what their criteria for panel membership is for a conveyancer.Then ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for Nationwide in the past. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Nationwide. Another option is to use our search facility and we may be able to find you a property lawyer in Keelby on the panel for Nationwide.
