I am helping my step-mother sell her property in Northwick Park. Does the solicitor order an energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?
After the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s became a compulsory component of moving house. An EPC must be to hand prior to the property being advertised. It is not something that law firms ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Northwick Park conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with reputable Northwick Park assessors
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Northwick Park conveyancing solicitors have been selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Principality?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Principality completed the valuation? Have you advised Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Northwick Park. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A few days later, the conveyancer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Northwick Park is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Northwick Park are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Northwick Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Northwick Park may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

We are in the process of purchasing a flat in Northwick Park. Could our conveyancer have the amount we are are buying for confidential from the likes of Rightmove. How could this be done?
HM Land Registry as a matter of law bound to specify price sold information on the official title for domestic properties countrywide including premises in Northwick Park. The Title Register is an open document, so HMLR would be breaching their statutory obligations if they did not allow access to the register.
In essence you can ask HM Land Registry to hide the amount paid data but the response will be a No.
