I am buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Buckhurst Hill. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal due diligence on the property include investigations to see if these works are allowed?
Your conveyancer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Buckhurst Hill can sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain works or require the consent of a 3rd party. Some extensions require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
Is it correct that all Buckhurst Hill CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel?
Some major banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their panels.
We expect to receive a DIP from TSB this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Buckhurst Hill solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Buckhurst Hill solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Buckhurst Hill is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Buckhurst Hill are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Buckhurst Hill you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Buckhurst Hill may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
