I am helping my step-mother sell her house in Hemsworth. Will the solicitor order an EPC or it is for me to see to?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was maintained a required part of moving house. An energy assessment must be commissioned prior to the property being advertised. It is not something that conveyancers normally arrange. Where you are instructing a Hemsworth conveyancing solicitor they might be able to arrange EPC’s given their relationships with long established Hemsworth accredited person

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Hemsworth off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Nationwide. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Hemsworth differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Hemsworth come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Hemsworth tend to purchase 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 Hemsworth or who has acted in the same development.
I decided to have a survey done on a house in Hemsworth prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not grant a mortgage on such a home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Hemsworth. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
