I am buying a end of terrace house in Ham. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to determine if these works are permitted?
Your conveyancer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Ham will on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of works or require the permission of another owner. Certain extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Ham is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Ham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ham may decide 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 residence.
