I am purchasing a detached bungalow in Diss. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to see if these alterations were previously refused?
Your solicitor will check the deeds as conveyancing in Diss can sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain alterations or require the permission of another owner. Some works call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from HSBC as we want to carry out improvements to our home in Diss. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Diss solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
HSBC don't usually appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
My wife and I purchased a renovated Georgian property in Diss. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Diss and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Diss is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Diss are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Diss you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Diss may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Some weeks ago I was advised by my lender that their approved solicitors work on no completion no charge basis for conveyancing in Diss. I had a purchase fall through nevertheless the conveyancers have requested search fees! They are claiming that the fees are independent!
Diss conveyancing search fees are disbursements not legal costs as these are due to a third party.
