I am purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Gorton. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to ascertain if these alterations were previously refused?
Your solicitor will review the deeds as conveyancing in Gorton will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of alterations or require the consent of another owner. Many works require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Gorton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this obligation primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Gorton accepted, but there is a chain.

What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Nottingham?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Gorton conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with Nottingham and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Gorton.
