We are purchasing a victorian detached house in Kirkdale. The intention is to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property include enquiries to ascertain if these works were previously refused?
Your conveyancer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Kirkdale will occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain works or necessitated the permission of a 3rd party. Certain additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Kirkdale conveyancing lawyers were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from UBS?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have UBS conducted the valuation? Have you informed UBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the UBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Kirkdale. I have a mortgage agreed with Virgin Money. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Virgin Money, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Kirkdale with a loan from Bank of Scotland. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it may impact my mortgage with Bank of Scotland. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Kirkdale is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Kirkdale are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kirkdale you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kirkdale 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.
