Do I need to be suspicious that estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a national conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Twickenham Park conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often suggestions from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all suggest lawyers to retain. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to choose your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that some banks operate an approved list of lawyers you must use for the mortgage related work in your home move.
I wish to rent out my leasehold flat in Twickenham Park. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A small minority of properties in Twickenham Park do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests 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 consent.
