My wife and I purchasing a victorian detached house in Montacute. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will the conveyancing process include checks to determine if these works are prohibited?
Your property lawyer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Montacute will on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain alterations or need the permission of a 3rd party. Many extensions need local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

Have purchased a a terraced house in Montacute , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Montacute conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Montacute is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not always top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Montacute differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Montacute approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Montacute usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Montacute or who has acted in the same development.
