I am purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Carlton. We would like to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to see if these works are prohibited?
Your solicitor will check the deeds as conveyancing in Carlton can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of alterations or necessitated the consent of another owner. Many extensions need local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

I bought my apartment on 6 August and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Carlton said it would be recorded in less than a month. Are titles in Carlton particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Carlton is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not always top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Carlton with a mortgage from Britannia. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it would jeopardize my loan with Britannia. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Carlton I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Carlton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
I have recently realised that I have 62 years remaining on my lease in Carlton. I need to extend my lease but my landlord is can not be found. What are my options?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to locate the lessor. In some cases a specialist may be helpful to try and locate and to produce a report which can be used as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Carlton.
