My aunt pointed out to me me that in purchasing a property in Rugby there could be a number of restrictions preventing external alterations to the property. Is this right?

We are due to move property in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Rugby. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the selling agent however this can only take place after the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. After that you can tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Rugby or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Rugby.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Rugby off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Nottingham. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
My friend advised me that where I am buying in Rugby I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is usually included in the estimate for your Rugby conveyancing searches.

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Rugby.
I bought my flat on 4 October and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Rugby expressed confidence that it will be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Rugby uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Rugby registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am contemplating using an online lawyer rather than a Rugby conveyancing practice. Any advice?
Advantages do exist in being able to visit a local Rugby conveyancing solicitor for instance
- signing papers same day
- sometimes being able to speak to someone face-to-face can make a significant difference, particularly for more complex house moves
- the ability to raise concerns if things need to addressed
When checking fees, look out for hidden extras. Most decent Rugby high street solicitors give an all-inclusive figure. Many online companies seem to offer cheap prices, yet have hidden 'extras' in the fine print.
