We are buying a end of terrace house in Muswell Hill. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal investigations on the property involve checks to see if these works are permitted?
Your solicitor should check the deeds as conveyancing in Muswell Hill can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain alterations or need the permission of a 3rd party. Many extensions call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Can you help - my lawyer says that missing deeds insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Muswell Hill conveyancing?
The right level of missing deeds indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Muswell Hill is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Muswell Hill are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Muswell Hill you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Muswell 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.
