I am buying a victorian detached house in Broadway. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal investigations on the property involve investigations to see if these alterations are permitted?

Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in Broadway can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of alterations or necessitated the permission of another owner. Certain additions require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

I am buying a property in Broadway. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. UBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is UBS your lawyer must check the formal requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to UBS where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Broadway.

My husband and I are spending time viewing apartments in Broadway and I am about to put in an offer. Is it sensible to have a solicitor on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a home loan with TSB.

It would be prudent to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the TSB conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

Am I best advised to go with a Broadway conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? An old friend can handle the legal work but they are based over three hundred miles drive away.

The benefit of a high street Broadway conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Broadway know how is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and they were happy that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Broadway conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being based in the area.
