We are buying a victorian detached house in Swadlincote. We would like to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal investigations on the property include checks to ascertain if these works are prohibited?
Your solicitor will check the deeds as conveyancing in Swadlincote will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of changes or require the consent of another owner. Some additions 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 affect extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
My offer was accepted on a property in Swadlincote on 11/6/2024, valuation was booked 3 days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to TSB and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Lloyds have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a apartment in Swadlincote has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
Your property agent will wish to be informed of your conveyancing practitioner's details (make sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Lloyds or your financial adviser and finalise any outstanding forms. Lloyds will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to schedule a time for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to get a mortgage offer. Lloyds will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Swadlincote.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Swadlincote. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Swadlincote - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
