I am getting a mortgage with Lloyds. I would like to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Stowmarket. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Stowmarket. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Stowmarket?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
We are due to move property in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Stowmarket. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your property agent but this should only take place after the sellers lawyers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. You should inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Stowmarket or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Stowmarket.
Please help - my lawyer advises that absentee landlord insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Stowmarket conveyancing?
The right level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.

Gone are the days when you need to have the physical official documentation to prove you own the land or property, given that the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
I am purchasing a new build house in Stowmarket with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this extras as it may adversely affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
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 acquired a 1st floor flat in Stowmarket, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent flats in Stowmarket with an extended lease are worth £171,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2104
You have 79 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
