My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Garstang. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Having exchanged you should choose a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of priority as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the conveyancing.

My wife and I buying a detached bungalow in Garstang. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve investigations to see if these alterations are prohibited?
Your solicitor will review the deeds as conveyancing in Garstang will on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of alterations or require the consent of a 3rd party. Some works need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Yorkshire BS are being difficult. The Garstang solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Yorkshire BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
