Your property lawyer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Wollaston will on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain alterations or require the consent of a 3rd party. Certain additions need local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

I've digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Wollaston solicitor - who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Wollaston surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Nationwide. If you contact us we can check with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Wollaston.

    It is important to be aware whether redecorating or some other major work is anticipated to be shared by the leasehold owners and will dramatically impact the level of the maintenance charges or necessitate a specific payment. Is there a share of the freehold? It would be wise to discover as much as possible about the company managing the building as they can either make living at the property much easier or much more difficult. As the proprietor of a leasehold property you are frequently at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to daily matters such as the cleanliness of the common parts. Ask other tenants what they think of their management. In conclusion, be sure you know the dates that you are obliged pay the service charge to the relevant party and precisely what it includes.
