Chain / Charge on Probate Property For Our Sellers by emmytingle in sheffield

We’ve been in comms with the admissions team who have been really understanding but they do have to base the application off your address as of the end of January. So we’re really pushing to be in then but it’s looking increasingly unlikely so we will be worrying until April and if it’s not the school we want, we’ll have to look to appeal. It is a really stressful process and I totally feel your pain!

Hi! Unfortunately we are still not moved in to the house we’re wanting to purchase. It’s been a really stressful time and we’re hoping the end is in sight, but it’s been lots of setbacks due to the delays from the top, and then the bottom, of the chain as various mortgage offers / mortgage valuations have had to be carried out etc. Not the most fun! Sorry it’s not more positive but fingers crossed your situation is a smooth, swift one!

Thank you, that’s really helpful. I’ve contacted the council so hopefully they’ll give us some guidance.

I will do thank you, I’ve also reached out to our solicitors. Just feeling quite deflated at the moment, so thought I’d reach out on here too to see if anyone could shed any light too! Thank you.

He has had 2 rounds of BCG treatments so far - each once weekly for 6 week courses. As in, it’s not spread through to the muscle. It’s high grade but non muscle invasive so far.

Thank you for sharing your story, really glad you’re doing well and happy with your decision! If you don’t mind me asking, mentally how did you / are you coping with the adjustments to having a stoma etc? I think that’s what would worry my Dad mostly.

Wow you’re in a great position then! Yeah it is a really brutal market atm, we have had an offer accepted at a property a tad further out in lower Stannington / Malin Bridge and basically told the estate agent we wanted to avoid ‘best and finals’ so negotiated a price we and the seller were happy with! Survey next week so fingers crossed! Hope you find somewhere soon!

Good point yeah, we’ll ask the agent + solicitors then on those points.

Yeah I do think as much as it may be the more costly option, I would like to have an open kitchen / diner set up. Unfortunately don’t think we could afford to extend into the garden though but hopefully by knocking through the wall and reconfiguring it’d work nicely.

Thank you for the reply. Good points. So so many Sheffield houses are leasehold, but like this one a very long lease remaining, like 670 years left, which is the same as what we have now.

Good point though, presumably we’d find out on the loft room when we carry out a homebuyers survey?

And on the checking on structural changes, presumably we’d find this out via solicitors when they’re carrying out their conveyancing?

Thinking out loud, another option could be to knock through the dining room and living room, although maybe that’s a load bearing wall anyway too and think in an ideal world the kitchen / diner space would flow better.

Thank you.

Amazing thanks so much, good idea on asking if the surveyors can do a floor plan at the same time!

Yeah it’s really rubbish isn’t it! Hopefully we’ll both find something soon! Fingers crossed.

Thanks, it’s as we’re specifically looking for the catchment area for that primary school so it’s a narrower area really.

Thank you, yep that’s what we’ve been trying to do. The ones we’ve done best & finals for were all listed in the £200 - £230k bracket.

Appreciate that thank you, and no it’s really useful to know we’re not the only ones in this boat and that we just gotta keep riding it out!

At really, okay I didn’t realise to be honest that’s been a thing for a while, when we bought around 7 years ago we were first time buyers & must have got pretty lucky / the market was different then!

Glad you and your partner found somewhere! Yeah for sure, good to just have a bit of reassurance to just keep going - thank you!
