I am purchasing a end of terrace house in Loxford. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal due diligence on the property involve checks to see if these alterations are permitted?
Your solicitor will check the registered title as conveyancing in Loxford can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain alterations or require the consent of a 3rd party. Some extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Many locations 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 ahead of any purchase.

Should my solicitor be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Loxford.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Loxford. There are those who purchase a house in Loxford, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which can figure out the risks in Loxford. The standard property information forms given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the vendor to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer may bring a claim for damages stemming from an inaccurate answer. A buyer’s lawyers may also carry out an enviro search. This should higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be made.
Have purchased a a detached house in Loxford , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Loxford conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Loxford is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property so 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
