Completed the sale of my flat in Sudbury last May yet the purchaser is SMS messaging every few hours to say his lawyer needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Post completion of your house sale your conveyancer should send the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. If applicable, your conveyancer must also send confirmation that the mortgage has been repaid to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities peculiar conveyancing in Sudbury.

It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Sudbury concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 residence 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.

Back In 2006, I bought a leasehold house in Sudbury. Conveyancing and Clydesdale mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing practitioner in Sudbury who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Sudbury conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I have given up seeking a lease extension in Sudbury. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

My husband and I intend to buy our 1st property in Sudbury. Conveyancing lawyer has been appointed. The broker advised that a survey is not necessary as the house is only 20 yrs old.
You would be best advised to undertake a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises is more than ten years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may suffice. They will highlight any obvious issues and recommend additional investigation where appropriate. Where there are any indications of material issues obtain a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
