My husband and I are acquiring a new build flat in Morfa Nefyn and my lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the builder. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange and my preference is not to prolong matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
My property lawyer in Morfa Nefyn is not on the Birmingham Midshires Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to use my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the Birmingham Midshires list of approved lawyers?

Should I be wary about brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Morfa Nefyn conveyancing firm?

But there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may put forward lawyers to appoint.

I want to sublet my leasehold flat in Morfa Nefyn. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Notwithstanding that your last Morfa Nefyn conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the premises.
