My friend's sister is a solicitor. I suspect that I will receive friends and family pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Shoeburyness?
It’s prudent to obtain multiple conveyancing quotes. Make use of our comparison tool on this page. The fees do vary but service levels do are distinct between law firms as is true with the vast majority of professional services.
We are a couple about to sign contracts for a freehold house in Shoeburyness. We have hit a snag. The mortgage offer with TSB expires on 29/12/2025 but the owners are insisting on a completion date of 31/12/2025. Is it possible to extend the loan expiry date?
The best person to address this concern is your lawyer who will assess whether he or she is corresponding with the bank, vendor’s representatives, selling agents or indeed all three given the circumstances your house move to date.
Do lawyers ask for money up-front for my conveyancing in Shoeburyness?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Shoeburyness your solicitor will request that you to provide them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Normally this is asked for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is as part of the purchase price then this will be asked for shortly prior to contracts are exchanged. Any further balance that is due will be payable shortly before completion.
Various online forums that I have come across warn that are a common reason for hinderance in Shoeburyness conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Shoeburyness.
I am buying a new build house in Shoeburyness benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it will jeopardize my mortgage with Aldermore. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Frank (my husband) and I may need to sub-let our Shoeburyness ground floor flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Shoeburyness conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Shoeburyness conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to seek permission via your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. Such consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
I purchased a garden flat in Shoeburyness, conveyancing formalities finalised March 2006. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Shoeburyness with a long lease are worth £186,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease runs out on 21st October 2077
With only 52 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £29,500 and £34,000 plus costs.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
