We are purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Vauxhall. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal due diligence on the property involve investigations to determine if these alterations are allowed?
Your conveyancer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Vauxhall will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of works or require the permission of a 3rd party. Some additions need 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 impact extensions.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Vauxhall. My financial adviser suggested a property lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £150.

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the TSB panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Partway through the sale of a leasehold flat in Vauxhall. Conveyancing lawyers are doing their job but we are being charged a fortune from the landlord. So far we have forked out £237 for a leasehold management information and then a further £134.40 for additional questions supplied by the purchaser's conveyancer.
Neither you or your property lawyer will have any sway over the level of the fee for this information but the average fee for the information for Vauxhall leasehold property is £355. For Vauxhall conveyancing sales it is standard for the vendor to cover the charges. The landlord or their agents are under no statutory obligation to address these questions although many will be willing to do so - albeit often at high prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no legislation that requires set fees for administrative tasks. There is no prescriptive time limit by which they are duty bound to provide the information.
