We are buying a victorian detached house in Waterhouses. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve investigations to see if these works are prohibited?

Your conveyancer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Waterhouses will occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of changes or require the consent of another owner. Many works call for local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

I have been told by my solicitor that lack of building regulations insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Waterhouses conveyancing?

The right level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Halifax and Virgin Money. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, TSB are being pedantic. The Waterhouses solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but TSB are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

How does conveyancing in Waterhouses differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Waterhouses contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Waterhouses usually buy the land, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Waterhouses or who has acted in the same development.
