As is the case with many service providers, often referrals from relatives can be most helpful.

On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there might be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to choose your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that most lenders specify a panel list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your transaction.

A lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the flat owner; in particular, it will say if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Netherne do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the property. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.
