I am buying a detached bungalow in Meir. We would like to convert the garage to an office at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to determine if these works are allowed?
Your solicitor should check the deeds as conveyancing in Meir can occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of alterations or require the permission of another owner. Some works require local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Meir building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Meir conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the lawyer is on the lender panel, they must adhere to the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by UBS. Is it usual for UBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Meir is approved on their conveyancing panel? UBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Meir 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

I opted to have a survey done on a house in Meir in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to issue a loan on a flying freehold property.
