We are purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Chinnor. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to see if these works are prohibited?
Your solicitor should check the registered title as conveyancing in Chinnor can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of alterations or require the consent of a 3rd party. Certain additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
My brother and I have latelypurchased a property in Chinnor. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Chinnor?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Chinnor. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller completes a document called a SPIF. answers turns out to be misleading, you could possibly take legal action against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor.However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Chinnor.
