AssumingI was to acquire a straightforward housein Sudbury for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Sudbury?
The only reduction in fees you would make on is the Sudbury conveyancing searches. Your lawyer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with the sellers conveyancer, stamp duty submission, register the ownership etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a charge however it will not be meaningful.
My apartment in Sudbury is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my lawyer need to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently currently.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Sudbury is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Sudbury are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Sudbury you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sudbury may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I have been advised by a number of estate agents in Sudbury to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your lawyers over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t offer any commission for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
