We are buying a terrace house in Keswick. The intention is to an extension at the rear at the house.Will the conveyancing process include checks to determine if these works are allowed?
Your solicitor should review the registered title as conveyancing in Keswick will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain alterations or need the consent of another owner. Certain extensions call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
