I am assisting my step-mother sell her house in Carbis Bay. Will the conveyancer arrange an energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to coordinate?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates became a compulsory element of moving property. An energy assessment should be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. This is not a task that law firms ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Carbis Bay conveyancing solicitor they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established local providers

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Carbis Bay from the point of view of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Carbis Bay can be reduced if you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ representatives. A minority of Carbis Bay leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a property where a dispute is unsettled. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over rather than ongoing. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but you should double-check via your lawyers. A purchaser's conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to to exchange contracts if the remaining number of years is less than 80 years. It is therefore important at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. The majority of landlords or Management Companies in Carbis Bay charge for providing management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should find out the actual amount of the charges. The management pack can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Carbis Bay.
