We are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in Welling with a homeloan from Bank of Ireland.We like our Welling conveyancing lawyer but Bank of Ireland informed us her practice is not listed on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Bank of Ireland panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Bank of Ireland panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Ireland use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Bank of Ireland approved list. in the past, most banks 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland

I would like to let out my leasehold flat in Welling. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Your lease dictates relations between the landlord and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will set out if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Welling do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the flat. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.
