My wife and I purchasing a terrace house in Leigh. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property include enquiries to ascertain if these alterations are allowed?
Your property lawyer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Leigh will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of alterations or need the permission of a 3rd party. Certain additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I am purchasing a property in Leigh. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender UBS be concerned?
As your lender is UBS your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The CML Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to UBS where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Leigh.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Leigh and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Leigh. Having lived in Leigh for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I have todayfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Leigh for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Leigh conveyancing specialists.
I was advised by numerous estate agents in Leigh to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your services ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any commission for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
Helen (my wife) and I may need to let out our Leigh 1st floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Leigh conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A lease governs the relationship between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will say if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Leigh do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the tenancy agreement.
