I am assisting my niece sell her property in Pocklington. Does the conveyancing solicitor arrange an EPC or it is for the seller to see to?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments became a mandatory element of moving property. An EPC must be to hand in advance of the property being placed on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Pocklington conveyancing practitioner they may help arrange EPC’s given their contacts with long established Pocklington assessors
Is it the case that all Pocklington solicitor practices on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Pocklington solicitor on the RBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your RBS 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 RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, 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 RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Pocklington completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
