My previous lawyer has quoted just over a thousand pound for fixed fee conveyancing in Hethersett. I am selling a Victorian detached home for £150,000. This appears overpriced. Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Hethersett?

The estimate does seem marginally overpriced. If you are prepared to spend time scrutinising charges you could decrease the fees slightly by as much as £100 plus VAT.

Have purchased a a terraced house in Hethersett , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Hethersett conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the registration is dealt with.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Hethersett registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I am purchasing a new build house in Hethersett with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it could impact my mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. 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 have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Hethersett I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hethersett for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
