I am purchasing a house mortgage free in Netherley. I have lived for the last dozen years in Netherley. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Netherley conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of advice. Do take into account; if you are likely to sell the house in the future, it may be of relevance to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. On occasion houses with day to day issues can still throw up negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Netherley will provide you some sensible guidance in this regard.
Please help - my lawyer says that defective lease insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Netherley?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Clydesdale done the survey? Have you informed Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

As your lender is UBS your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to UBS where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Netherley.

I would like to let out my leasehold apartment in Netherley. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Notwithstanding that your last Netherley conveyancing solicitor is not around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to seek consent from your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. The consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
