Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Tutbury?
If you are buying a property in Tutbury your lawyer will request that you place them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Normally this is asked for to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search.

I would like to sublet my leasehold apartment in Tutbury. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Notwithstanding that your previous Tutbury conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain consent from your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining consent. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

I have read on a number of consumer advice websites that before selecting a conveyancing solicitors they need approved by your lender. I am novice purchaser but I have an AIP with Birmingham Midhshires and I already have a local conveyancing lawyer in Tutbury in place.

You need to instruct a solicitor that is on the Nat West Bank panel. The first thing to do is ring your chosen Tutbury conveyancing lawyer to check if they are on the Nat West Bank panel. If they are not on the panel you have numerous alternatives open to you here:
- Proceed with your preferred Tutbury property lawyer but Nat West Bank will no doubt instruct a property lawyer from their approved list. The net impact is additional cost together with likely frustration.
- Appoint a new conveyancing practitioner to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Nat West Bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to seek to join the lender panel.
