IfI was to purchase a straightforward housein Sudbury for cash and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Sudbury?
Any savings you would achieve will be isolated to the Sudbury conveyancing searches. A conveyancer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with your vendors conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty submission, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge however it will not be a lot.
Please help - my lawyer says that lack of right of way insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Sudbury?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Lloyds are being problematic. The Sudbury solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Lloyds are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Coventry BS will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Sudbury.
Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that could affect a commercial land in Sudbury?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Sudbury will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Sudbury. The report provides definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Sudbury.
For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Sudbury it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately may cause delays to Sudbury commercial conveyancing transactions as well as present a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not carried out for domestic conveyancing in Sudbury.

How does conveyancing in Sudbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Sudbury contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Sudbury tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Sudbury or who has acted in the same development.
