Please could you vouch for a Skipton Building Society accepted Halesworth conveyancing firm who can have us moved in within 10 days? Would it be better to use a local Halesworth solicitor or a factory type conveyancer?

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Halesworth?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Halesworth. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Halesworth I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Halesworth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Halesworth
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Halesworth conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Halesworth. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as you normally would because all rents and service payments should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I purchased a 1 bedroom flat in Halesworth, conveyancing formalities finalised December 2012. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar flats in Halesworth with an extended lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2100
With just 74 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
