We are buying a victorian detached house in Burnt Oak. We would like to convert the garage to an office at the house.Will legal work on the property include checks to see if these works are permitted?
Your property lawyer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Burnt Oak will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain changes or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party.

Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers located in Burnt Oak on the UBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional fee for the legal aspects of the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by UBS?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by UBS but by your Burnt Oak solicitor. Numerous firms on the UBS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
We were going to get a DIP from Nationwide 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). Do Nationwide recommend any Burnt Oak solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Burnt Oak solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nationwide through the process.
Have completed on a a detached house in Burnt Oak , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Burnt Oak conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Burnt Oak registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration is effected after the buyer is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Burnt Oak differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Burnt Oak contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Burnt Oak usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Burnt Oak or who has acted in the same development.
