I am purchasing a detached bungalow in Southfields. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal investigations on the property involve investigations to determine if these works are prohibited?
Your solicitor will check the registered title as conveyancing in Southfields can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of changes or require the consent of another owner. Certain works call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
Can I be sure that the Southfields conveyancing solicitor on the Lloyds panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Southfields getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Southfields off the council. I have a mortgage offer with TSB. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the property agent has warned us that the owners will only move forward if we instruct their recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Southfields
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to use your own,trusted Southfields conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide the estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
