I am assisting my mother sell her property in Barnsbury. Will the solicitor commission the energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to coordinate?
After the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s was left as a required element of moving house. An energy performance certificate must be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not something that conveyancers normally arrange. Where you are using a Barnsbury conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates given their contacts with reputable Barnsbury providers
I'm the single recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Barnsbury. The Barnsbury property was put into my name in February. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this provision chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
I have a mortgage with Barclays for my property in Barnsbury. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?
Your original mortgage agreement with Barclays will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Barclays will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel firm.

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
