Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

Your solicitor will check the deeds as conveyancing in Kenley can on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain works or need the consent of a 3rd party. Certain additions require local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations.

A small minority of properties in Kenley do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord.
