I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Halifax. I intend to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Sudbury. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
I am buying a house for cash in Sudbury. I have lived for the last dozen years in Sudbury. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then almost all of the Sudbury conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house in the future, it could be of importance to your prospective buyer what the searches determine. On occasion houses with functional issues can still reveal unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Sudbury should provide you some helpful guidance concerning this.
It is is a decade since I bought my house in Sudbury. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Sudbury involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
We are due to move home in July. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Sudbury. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across your website.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the estate agent however this should only happen after the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Sudbury or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Sudbury.
My wife and I are spending time viewing flats in Sudbury and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it sensible to have a conveyancing practitioner on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Co-operative.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, UBS are being difficult. The Sudbury solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS 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.
About to purchase a new build flat in Sudbury. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Sudbury

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
