My wife and I buying a victorian detached house in Lixwm. We would like to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will legal investigations on the property include checks to see if these alterations were previously refused?
Your solicitor will review the deeds as conveyancing in Lixwm will occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of alterations or require the permission of another owner. Many additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Are all Lixwm Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel?
It is true that some lenders now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their panels.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Lixwm. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nottingham have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Nottingham your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nottingham. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Nottingham where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Lixwm.
I'm buying a new build house in Lixwm with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it may impact my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Should one remove a departed person's name from the title register for a property in Lixwm?
Where a Lixwm property is jointly owned and one of the owners passes away, the name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to remove their name as when it comes to a disposal your conveyancer would just be required to supply proof why the joint owner is not included in the transfer, normally this is in the form of the probate documents.
With the aim of making the sale conveyancing more straight forward in the future you can apply to have the deceased party removed from the title register by applying to the land registry with evidence of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
