We are purchasing a victorian detached house in Abingdon. We would like to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve investigations to determine if these alterations are allowed?
Your property lawyer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Abingdon can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of alterations or need the consent of another owner. Certain extensions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
We expect to receive a AIP from Santander this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Abingdon solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Abingdon solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
I have instructed a Abingdon property lawyer having checked that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
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 Abingdon 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.
