My wife and I buying a detached bungalow in Leven. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property include investigations to ascertain if these works are prohibited?

Your property lawyer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Leven will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain works or necessitated the permission of another owner. Certain works need local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Leven. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is new to me. 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 Bank of Ireland, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

My colleague suggested that where I am purchasing in Leven I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

A search of this type is occasionally quoted for as part of the standard Leven conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of about 40 pages, listing and detailing important information about Leven around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Leven.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Leven with a mortgage from TSB. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not inform my lawyer about this deal as it may jeopardize my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Leven I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Leven for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

My company is intending to take an assignment of a lease of an office on a shopping parade. Can you recommend lawyers offering no-move-no fees for commercial conveyancing in Leven for less than 2k?
