I am helping my niece sell her property in Glossop. Does the solicitor arrange the energy performance certificate or it is for me to see to?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was kept a required component of selling a property. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not a task that solicitors ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Glossop conveyancing practitioner they may help arrange EPC’s given their contacts with long established Glossop assessors

How does conveyancing in Glossop differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Glossop approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Glossop typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Glossop or who has acted in the same development.
I was pointed in your direction by three or four local property agents in Glossop to select a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your site ahead of another?
We don’t make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we use their chosen solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Glossop
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Glossop conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
