It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Nether Stowey. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Is this a major issue?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Nether Stowey relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

We are buying a terrace house in Nether Stowey. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve investigations to determine if these works are allowed?

Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in Nether Stowey can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain works or need the consent of another owner. Some additions need local authority planning permissions and approval under the 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 ahead of any purchase.

I'm the single beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Nether Stowey. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this provision is primarily there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I had an offer accepted on a property in Nether Stowey on 7/4/2026, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Yorkshire BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Are Yorkshire BS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Nether Stowey?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Nether Stowey. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
