I am purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Sudbury. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will legal work on the property include checks to determine if these works are permitted?

Your solicitor should check the deeds as conveyancing in Sudbury can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain alterations or need the consent of another owner. Many extensions require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Skipton, do Sudbury conveyancing practitioners face a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

Can you point me to a directory of TSB panel conveyancers in Sudbury on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few banks make their panel listings available over the internet. Where you are seeking to appoint a Sudbury lawyer on the TSB please make the most of our facility.

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of delay in Sudbury house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Sudbury.

I am buying a new build house in Sudbury with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
