I am purchasing a end of terrace house in Kempsey. The intention is to an extension at the rear at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to see if these alterations were previously refused?
Your conveyancer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Kempsey will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of alterations or necessitated the permission of a 3rd party. Many additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP.

As you are taking out a mortgage with Nationwide, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Kempsey is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Kempsey are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Kempsey you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kempsey 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 premises.

There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
