I am purchasing a detached bungalow in Feltham. Our aim is to an extension at the rear at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve investigations to see if these works are allowed?
Your solicitor will check the deeds as conveyancing in Feltham can sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain changes or need the permission of a 3rd party. Many additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Feltham. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £200. A couple of days later, the solicitor contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Clydesdale panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I have justfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Feltham for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Feltham I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Feltham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
