I am expecting a AIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Shiremoor solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Shiremoor solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Shiremoor. I have a mortgage offer with Yorkshire BS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.

I am intending to let out my leasehold apartment in Shiremoor. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Even though your last Shiremoor conveyancing lawyer is not available you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the premises. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you must obtain consent from your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without prior consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably turned down. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.
