We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would much rather instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Melksham?

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Melksham I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Melksham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

My husband and I may need to let out our Melksham 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Melksham conveyancing practice in 2004 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?
A small minority of properties in Melksham do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
