I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Earlsfield. Does the conveyancer order the energy assessment or it is for me to coordinate?
After the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was maintained a mandatory part of selling a property. An EPC must be commissioned prior to the property being marketed. It is not a task that solicitors normally organise.

Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Earlsfield. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Having exchanged you will need to retain a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you are facing a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. An auction property will ordinarily have an associated auction pack. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. If you have purchased leasehold premises the auction pack should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork pertinent to leasehold premises.

The mortgage over my property is with Nottingham for my property in Earlsfield. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Nottingham?
You must advise Nottingham before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let 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 Nottingham directly. You need not do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel lawyer.
We are selling our property in Earlsfield and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Earlsfield. Having lived in Earlsfield for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
4 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Earlsfield completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
