My wife and I buying a victorian detached house in Stoke Newington. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to determine if these alterations are allowed?

Your conveyancer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Stoke Newington can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of alterations or need the consent of a 3rd party.

I am the only beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Stoke Newington. The Stoke Newington property was put into my name in September. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in September. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this requirement is primarily there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Stoke Newington off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds.

How does conveyancing in Stoke Newington differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Stoke Newington contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Stoke Newington usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Stoke Newington or who has acted in the same development.
