Your conveyancer should review the registered title as conveyancing in West Barnes can sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain alterations or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Some extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

About to purchase flat in West Barnes. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the West Barnes conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
The deeds to our house can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in West Barnes 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and obtain current copies of the property title for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.
