My wife and I purchasing a end of terrace house in Redbridge. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to determine if these works are allowed?
Your property lawyer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Redbridge will on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain alterations or necessitated the consent of another owner. Some extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
Is it correct that all Redbridge CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Nottingham conveyancing list of approved firms?
Some major banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Redbridge building society branch on a couple of occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Redbridge conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the lawyer is on the bank approved list, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
