My Aberdaron lawyer has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the information in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he is duty bound to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action right?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I am buying my first flat in Aberdaron with a loan from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it will affect my loan with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to let out our Aberdaron ground floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Aberdaron conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Aberdaron conveyancing lawyer is not around you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the premises. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain consent via your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior consent. The consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
