Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was kept a required element of moving house.

If you are using a Leyland conveyancing lawyer they might be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with reputable Leyland accredited person
My wife and I have arranged the release of further funds on our mortgage from Clydesdale as we wish to conduct improvements to our property in Leyland. Do we need to select a high street Leyland solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Clydesdale would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale list.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Bank of Ireland are being a right pain. The Leyland solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Bank of Ireland are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

For many Leyland leaseholds the cost for major works are not included within maintenance charges, albeit that some managing agents in Leyland require tenants to pay into a sinking fund created for the specific intention of building a fund for larger repairs or maintenance. The prefered form of lease arrangement is if the freehold reversion is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this situation the leaseholders enjoy being in charge if their destiny and even though a managing agent is usually retained if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent retained by the leaseholders. Best to be warned whether window replacement or some other major work is anticipated that will be shared between the leaseholders and may well materially increase the the maintenance charges or necessitate a specific invoice.
