Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Rendlesham

We are purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Rendlesham. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the property.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to determine if these alterations were previously refused?

Your conveyancer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Rendlesham can occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain changes or need the consent of another owner. Many works require local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain areas 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.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Rendlesham conveyancing practitioner having checked that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Rendlesham surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

At last I have had an offer on a flat in Rendlesham agreed to, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The owners have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Rendlesham. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance going?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Rendlesham conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the Kent Reliance approved list. Concerning the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to move forward with searches.
