I am purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Edmonton. The intention is to convert the garage to an office at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to see if these works were previously refused?
Your solicitor will review the deeds as conveyancing in Edmonton can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain alterations or require the permission of a 3rd party. Certain works require local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some locations 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.
When it comes to lenders such as Santander, do Edmonton conveyancers incur a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I currently have a mortgage with Aldermore for my property in Edmonton. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Aldermore?
You must advise Aldermore before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Aldermore’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Aldermore will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Aldermore directly. You need not do this via a Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor.
Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that could affect a commercial site in Edmonton?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Edmonton will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Edmonton. The search result provides definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Edmonton.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Edmonton it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately could result in delays to Edmonton commercial conveyancing deals as well as present a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Edmonton.

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 premises.

In relation to leasehold conveyancing in Edmonton what are the most frequent lease defects?
Leasehold conveyancing in Edmonton is not unique. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage A provision to repair to or maintain parts of the property
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Yorkshire Building Society, Coventry Building Society, and Britannia all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to pull out.
