Local issues considered by Suffolk Conveyancing Solicitors:

Suffolk Stamp Duty Relief

Stamp duty relief may be available in nearly 2,000 'disadvantaged areas' nationwide. These are based on electoral divisions and local government wards. These disadvantaged areas do not always coincide with postcode districts, so the postcode search tool cannot always be relied on. If an online search cannot determine whether a Suffolk home is located in a disadvantaged area, clarification should be sought from the local council. That said, for any purchase below £150,000, it is worth making a simple postcode search to find out if a property is in a Disadvantaged area. This relief is not generally available on commercial property, but some relief may be available for 'mixed use' premises such as a shop with a flat above.

Disadvantaged areas in Suffolk include Harbour, Normanston, Kirkley, Whitton.

Property Lawyers on all UK Lender Panels

Issues to consider when your lawyer is not on your Lender's panel

Lenders maintain panels of law firms to perform mortgage legal work. While these panels were once open, allowing any firm to join, that is no longer the case. More recently, lenders have begun to remove firms which have either not completed many conveyancing transactions or have failed to meet other criteria. If your conveyancing solicitor is not on your preferred lender's panel, then the lender will not instruct that firm to act in connection with the mortgage. You then have a choice:

  • Obtain a mortgage from a less restrictive lender
  • Instruct a solicitor whom your lender accepts
  • Pay the lenders costs for their solicitor in addition to your own

It is usually cheaper to have the same firm act both for you and your lender, and carry out all the conveyancing work in connection with a purchase and the mortgage. Be aware of the following, if you choose to remain with your first choice of law firm:

  • You must now pay the lender's costs in addition to your own
  • You will not get any priority from the lender's solicitors, as they will have many other cases underway, and you are unable contact these solicitors directly

Council Tax in Suffolk
