My wife and I purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Crowborough. The intention is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal investigations on the property involve enquiries to determine if these alterations are allowed?
Your conveyancer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Crowborough will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of alterations or require the consent of a 3rd party. Many works require local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
We expect to receive a OIP from Santander this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Crowborough solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
