If you are instructing a Furzedown conveyancing lawyer they might be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with reputable Furzedown energy assessors

We are purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Furzedown. Our aim is to an extension at the rear at the property.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to ascertain if these works are allowed?

Your property lawyer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Furzedown will on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of works or require the permission of a 3rd party. Many works 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. It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
