My wife and I buying a 3 bedroom semi in Windsor. The intention is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal investigations on the property include investigations to ascertain if these works are allowed?
Your conveyancer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Windsor can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain works or necessitated the permission of another owner. Certain works need local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Windsor. The Windsor property was put into my name in May. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in May. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this provision is primarily there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Windsor conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Windsor conveyancing practice) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Windsor conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm.
