I am helping my step-mother sell her property in Newton Ferrers. Will the conveyancer commission an energy performance certificate or should I organise this?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was kept a mandatory part of selling a property. An energy performance certificate must be to hand prior to the property being put on the market. This is not a task that law firms normally organise. Where you are instructing a Newton Ferrers conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with reputable Newton Ferrers providers
