Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments remained a mandatory element of moving property.

Where you are using a Kirby Muxloe conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange EPC’s given their contacts with long established local energy assessors
We previously chose solicitors locally in Kirby Muxloe on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. They have just billed me a supplemental sum for dealing with the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Kent Reliance?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your Kirby Muxloe solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Kent Reliance panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Kirby Muxloe I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease.

If you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
