We were going to get a DIP from Clydesdale this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any Barrow In Furness solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Barrow In Furness solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.

My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Barrow In Furness and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Barrow In Furness lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Barrow In Furness. Having lived in Barrow In Furness for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

My husband and I may need to sub-let our Barrow In Furness 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Barrow In Furness conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Barrow In Furness do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
