I am under pressure from the seller of a property in St Albans to complete within four weeks. What can I do to speed up matters?
First, If the seller is applying time constraints to exchange it is advisable to make sure that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local connections and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they would have conducted otherhouses in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a St Albans conveyancing lawyer. In addition, ensure that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is believed that 18% of St Albans conveyancing transactions are delayed or derailed after discovering a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. This can often result in the home move being frustrated by as much as three weeks. It is estimated that this issue impacts approximately one hundred thousand home moves annually. Almost all St Albans conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.

My wife and I purchasing a victorian detached house in St Albans. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to ascertain if these works were previously refused?
Your property lawyer will check the registered title as conveyancing in St Albans can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of changes or require the permission of a 3rd party. Certain additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
