My wife and I purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Bangor. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to ascertain if these alterations were previously refused?
Your property lawyer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Bangor will occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain works or require the consent of another owner. Many extensions need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

I have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Bangor. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
Coventry BS must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Coventry BS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel lawyer.
