Are you able to vouch for a Nottingham Building Society sanctioned Sutton conveyancing conveyancer who can have us moved in within less than a month? Am I best advised to unstruct a high street Sutton conveyancer or a factory type firm?
We can recommend some very good Sutton conveyancing firms. Another option is to visit the main road in Sutton. Go in to two or three firms and ask to see a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Explain your requirements together with your reasons and ask for a commitment on speed. Choose the one that genuine.
Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Sutton. My lender is The Mortgage Works
The Mortgage Works have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 13/8/2026, the requirements read as follows :
Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are the main reason for stalling in Sutton conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Sutton.
I am purchasing a new build house in Sutton with a mortgage from Virgin Money. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it may impact my mortgage with Virgin Money. 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Sutton I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Sutton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
