We are buying a 3 bedroom semi in Bethesda. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to see if these alterations are allowed?
Your conveyancer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Bethesda will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain changes or require the permission of another owner. Many additions need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

My wife and I are selling our home in Bethesda and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bethesda. Having lived in Bethesda for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything.
