Hi, we're in the process of moving and just doing searches etc. Our buyers' solicitors have asked a question about something in the 1957 deed (year the house was built) and I don't know what they mean! Have attached the relevant part of the deed and their question is:

Please can you forward a copy of the consent in reference to the following restriction listed under point (1) Part Two of the Transfer dated the 2nd April 1957 which affects the property

We had a loft conversion done 4 years ago - would this be it?
Our conveyancer doesn't really know either, talked to him this morning so if anybody is good at interpreting 70-year old deeds I'd be very grateful

@2bazookas "conveyancer" can be a catch all term. Now I'm working at a licenced conveyancers, I've realised how snobby people can be about them when actually they can be very good.

I had this when I sold my home. Because I had replaced the windows. I could have argued that I replaced like for like....but to be honest....just to keep the buyers happy i got the insurance as it was rhe quickest way to proceed and not worth faffing over less than £100 on a property sale.
