Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from North Cornelly. Can you please clarify why all North Cornelly property lawyers are not on all bank panels?
Pre- 2008 most banks displayed an attitude to risk which is different than today. The financial regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the lawyers on your panel. As a result, lenders have subsequently looked to extract more data from law firms concerning their operations and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Hundreds of firms have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the criteria of amount of transactions the lenders insisted on.

Most buyers of new build premises in North Cornelly contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in North Cornelly usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying.

Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended.

My husband and I may need to sub-let our North Cornelly garden flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a North Cornelly conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
A lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will say if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in North Cornelly do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – 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 sublease.
