I am searching for value for money property lawyer. Should I go for for an online conveyancer as opposed to a family Boxmoor conveyancing lawyer?

I am purchasing a end of terrace house in Boxmoor. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to determine if these alterations are permitted?

Your conveyancer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Boxmoor will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain changes or require the permission of another owner. Certain works call for local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Boxmoor solicitor - who is on the conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually 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 Boxmoor 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.
