We are buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Herne Hill. We would like to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will legal conveyancing on the property include checks to see if these works are prohibited?
Your property lawyer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Herne Hill will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of alterations or need the permission of another owner. Some additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Herne Hill. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Herne Hill.
I purchased my home on 4 February and my personal details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Herne Hill said it should be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Herne Hill particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Herne Hill registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration is effected once the purchaser has moved in to the property thus registration formalities is not usually primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
