I am buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Croston. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the property.Will legal work on the property involve enquiries to determine if these works are permitted?
Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in Croston can occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain works or necessitated the permission of another owner. Many additions need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
We expect to receive a OIP from Coventry BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Croston solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Croston solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.

Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
