Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Batheaston

I am helping my aunt sell her property in Batheaston. Will the conveyancing solicitor arrange an energy assessment or should I organise this?

After the abolition of HIPs, EPC’s became a compulsory component of selling a house. An EPC needs to be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. It is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Batheaston conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established local energy assessors

I am the sole recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Batheaston. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in February. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this requirement principally exists to identify subsales or the flipping of property.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Batheaston I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Batheaston suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the property agent told us that the owners will only move forward if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Batheaston

We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Batheaston conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will earn their estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.

We have just discovered that one of the directors of the firm handling the purchase conveyancing in Batheaston is is the brother of the seller. Is this permitted?

On the basis that no conflict arises this should be fine. If you are requiring a mortgage then the lender may have a say as many banks have specific instructions on this. For example for RBS - Virgin One as of 9/3/2026, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

No, your firm may not act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower. However, your firm may act if a separate fee earner or separate partner within the firm acts for us.
