My wife and I purchasing a terrace house in Polegate. The intention is to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve investigations to determine if these alterations are prohibited?
Your solicitor will check the deeds as conveyancing in Polegate can occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain changes or necessitated the permission of another owner. Some works require local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

I have a mortgage with Barclays for my property in Polegate. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?
You must advise Barclays in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel lawyer.
