My wife and I buying a 3 bedroom semi in Long Sutton. The intention is to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property involve checks to ascertain if these works are allowed?
Your property lawyer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Long Sutton will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain changes or need the consent of a 3rd party. Many extensions need local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
Can you help - my lawyer advises that chancel insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Long Sutton?
The right level of chancel indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Long Sutton property lawyer having checked that they are on the Santander conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Santander will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Santander will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Long Sutton surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Long Sutton I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Long Sutton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Long Sutton?
Conveyancing - in Long Sutton or anywhere in England and Wales - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re intending to buy and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to fix the problems prior to you move in.
