I am helping my step-mother sell her property in Balby. Will the conveyancing solicitor order the EPC or it is for me to coordinate?

After the demise of HIPs, energy assessments was left as a required part of moving house. An energy assessment must be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. It is not something that solicitors ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Balby conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with reputable Balby assessors

My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Balby. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?

Given that you are now for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you will need to hire the services of a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of urgency as you are facing a tight deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. All auction property should have a corresponding legal set of papers. This will likely include most,if not all of the paperwork that your lawyer requires. If you have purchased leasehold property the auction papers may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation specific to leasehold premises. You must give this to the solicitor working for you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that you have funds organised to complete on the date specified in the contract.

My husband and I have organised the release of further funds on our mortgage from Co-operative as we wish to carry out alterations to our property in Balby. Are we obliged to choose a local Balby solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Co-operative would not normally require firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative list.

Am I right to be suspicious about brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Balby conveyancing firm?

As is the case with many professional services, often suggestions from relatives can be very helpful. But there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all put forward lawyers to use. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that the majority of lenders specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Balby. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just had a half-yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and service invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

I purchased a ground floor flat in Balby, conveyancing formalities finalised June 2007. How much will my lease extension cost? Corresponding properties in Balby with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2088

You have 62 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

I have been told by various family members to expect up to two months for Balby conveyancing to complete.This was four weeks ago. The draft contract was only sent from the vendors lawyer a couple of days ago so does the clock start running now?

You should be pragmatic about timescales. Conveyancing in Balby takes on average about ten weeks. This timeframe is not because property lawyer are slow and willfully delay matters. The level of money involved in buying any property is so high, the buyer’s conveyancing practitioner needing to raise a wide range of questions, searches and further checks to protect the buyer and their lender (if there is to be a home loan) from expensive, avoidable problems. These checks involves getting information from various third parties, for example other property lawyer, local councils, private companies, mortgage companies. Some of these are efficient. Plenty aren't. And remember, it doesn't matter how quickly your conveyancer do their job, if the people you are purchasing from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can move forward until they are.
