As someone clueless as to conveyancing in Wallington what’s your top tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Wallington
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Wallington or throughout Surrey is an adversarial experience.

we are a couple who are buying a 1 bedroom flat in Wallington with a mortgage from Clydesdale.We use our Wallington conveyancing solicitor but Clydesdale says her practice is not on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Clydesdale panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Clydesdale use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Clydesdale

I would like to sublet my leasehold flat in Wallington. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Your lease governs the relationship between the freeholder and you the flat owner; specifically, it will set out if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Wallington do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the sublease.
