I am assisting my sister sell her flat in Hackney. Will the conveyancer commission the energy assessment or it is for me to see to?
Following the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s remained a compulsory element of selling a property. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned prior to the property being advertised. It is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Hackney conveyancing solicitor they may help arrange energy assessments given their contacts with long established local assessors
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Hackney. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Hackney?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Hackney I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Hackney for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
