I am purchasing a detached bungalow in Ettington. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property include investigations to determine if these works are permitted?
Your solicitor will check the deeds as conveyancing in Ettington will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of alterations or need the consent of another owner. Some additions need local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I am being advised by my lawyer that breach of easement insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Ettington?
The appropriate level of breach of easement indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Santander, do Ettington property lawyers have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that could impact a commercial property in Ettington?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Ettington will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers expend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Ettington. The search result sets out 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 Ettington.

These searches are not carried out for residential conveyancing in Ettington.

We are hoping to buy a four room flatin Ettington with a residential mortgage from a lender. We have selected a solicitor in Ettington however our bank inform us now that he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our lender panel solicitors or keep our Ettington solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The lender home loan issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Ettington : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
