I am assisting my mother sell her flat in Jarrow. Will the conveyancer arrange an energy assessment or do I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s remained a mandatory component of selling a property. An EPC should be commissioned before the property is advertised. This is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers ordinarily arrange.

You will need to appoint Jarrow solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
I have paid off my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Jarrow conveyancer on the Bank of Ireland panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so
