Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Lydney conveyancing searches.
I am buying a detached bungalow in Lydney. The intention is to convert the garage to an office at the property.Will the conveyancing process include checks to determine if these alterations are allowed?
Your property lawyer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Lydney can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain alterations or need the permission of a 3rd party.
