I am buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Burnham. The intention is to convert the garage to an office at the house.Will legal investigations on the property involve checks to see if these works are permitted?

Your solicitor should review the registered title as conveyancing in Burnham can on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain changes or need the permission of a 3rd party. Many extensions need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Virgin Money. Burnham conveyancing solicitors were selected. How long does it take for Virgin Money to send the offer to the property lawyer?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Virgin Money completed the survey? Have you informed Virgin Money as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Burnham. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Soon after, the conveyancer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Clydesdale panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Burnham.

How does conveyancing in Burnham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Burnham approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Burnham typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Burnham or who has acted in the same development.
