Me and my partner are planning to purchase a 1 bedroom apartment in Little Haven with a mortgage. We like our Little Haven conveyancer, however the lender advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to select one of the mortgage company panel firms or keep our Little Haven conveyancer and pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. We feel that this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Little Haven conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my grandmother I am disposing of a house in Swansea but I am based in Little Haven. My lawyer (based 200 miles awayhas requested that I execute a statutory declaration ahead of completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Little Haven who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you should not be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Little Haven based
My husband and I may need to rent out our Little Haven 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Little Haven conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Your lease governs the relationship between the landlord and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will indicate if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Little Haven do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the sublease.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
