My wife and I purchasing a end of terrace house in Timperley. We would like to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will the conveyancing process include checks to determine if these works are allowed?
Your solicitor should check the registered title as conveyancing in Timperley will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain alterations or require the permission of another owner. Many additions call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

We are getting a further advance on our home loan from RBS as we want to conduct alterations to our property in Timperley. Do we need to choose a bricks and mortar Timperley solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
RBS do not ordinarily appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the RBS conveyancing panel.

I have just appointed agents to market my basement flat in Timperley. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently had a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would as all rents and maintenance payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
