Can conveyancing in Ryhope to be completed in 10 days?

It is possible that they would have transacted otherhouses in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Ryhope conveyancing solicitor.

Many Ryhope conveyancing firms can not act for certain lenders so do check at the outset.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Ryhope last November but our buyer keeps Skype messaging every few hours to moan that their lawyer needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

Where relevant, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the mortgage has been paid off to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Ryhope.
I'm buying a new build house in Ryhope with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it would affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.

I own a leasehold flat in Ryhope. Conveyancing was finished in 2010. I have heard that I should not allow the lease length get too low. Is this right?
Ryhope leasehold properties are for a set period - often ninety nine years when they started. However many appartments in Ryhope were constructed or converted in the 70’s80’s and so such leases now have less than eighty years unexpired. This may seem like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions tend to need leases to have at least 75 years left to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are getting close to seventy five years. To increase the marketability of your property you should be thinking about whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. You should note that there are significant benefits to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
