My wife and I purchasing a terrace house in Rendlesham. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to see if these alterations are prohibited?

Your property lawyer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Rendlesham can sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain changes or require the consent of another owner. Many works require local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions.

I've digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Rendlesham solicitor - who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Rendlesham postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Rendlesham.

The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Rendlesham. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS going?

It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Rendlesham conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their property lawyer to move forward with searches.

How does conveyancing in Rendlesham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Rendlesham come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Rendlesham typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Rendlesham or who has acted in the same development.
