Jane (my partner) and I may need to let out our Looe 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Looe conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Looe conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the premises. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must seek consent from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without prior permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

Is the freehold owned jointly by the tenants? Can you inform me if there are any major works in the planning that will increase the maintenance costs?
My husband and I are acquiring a ground floor flat in Looe. When we first instructed conveyancing practitioner, they assured us that they were on all major UK bank panels. Our mortgage broker called today to say that they are not on the Santander approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Should we simply pick a different conveyancer that is on their approved list or do we cover the costs for separate representation, with Santander appointing their own approved property lawyer.
Where you are acquiring a property needing a mortgage it is normal for the purchaser’s lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the solicitor has to fulfill. Some banks now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact Santander and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Santander's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Looe lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another solicitor into the equation.
