My wife and I purchasing a terrace house in Barry. Our aim is to convert the garage to a playroom at the property.Will legal work on the property include checks to determine if these alterations were previously refused?
Your solicitor will check the registered title as conveyancing in Barry can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain alterations or need the consent of a 3rd party. Certain additions need local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Barry and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Barry conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Barry. We have lived in Barry for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
