We are a couple about to exchange contracts for a garden flat in Sudbury. We encountered a problem. Our mortgage offer with Yorkshire Building Society expires on 2/9/2026 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 4/9/2026. Can one prolong the mortgage offer?
The person best placed to address this concern is your lawyer who will hopefully assess if he or she is better off negotiating with the lender, owner’s lawyers, property agents or conceivably all parties taking into account what has happend in your conveyancing as of today.
Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Sudbury costs more?
Sudbury leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving applicable notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.
four months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Sudbury completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Sudbury I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sudbury suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
Given that I will soon spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on 3 bedroom house in Sudbury I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor regarding thehome move prior to giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
We could not agree more - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer who will be doing your conveyancing in Sudbury.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a file number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Sudbury should be the figure that you are charged.
I am purchasing a flat mortgage free. My lawyer has been supplied with with two distinct evidence of photographic ID, bank statement, multiple utility bills. Now he needs a copy from a probate lawyer stating that the funds are legitimate and that it has come from inheritance and not via illegitimate means.
In today’s world you will not be able to complete any Sudbury conveyancing transaction without first providing evidence of your identity to your lawyers. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other. Establishing of your source of funds is required under Money Laundering Regulations.
