I am buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Elm Park. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process include checks to determine if these works are prohibited?
Your conveyancer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Elm Park can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of alterations or require the consent of a 3rd party. Some extensions require local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I currently have a mortgage with Skipton for my property in Elm Park. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Skipton?
Skipton must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Skipton 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 Skipton directly. You need not do this via a Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor.
I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Elm Park agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The sellers have offered on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Elm Park. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Elm Park conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to move forward with searches.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Elm Park is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Elm Park are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Elm Park you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Elm Park 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 property.
