I am assisting my step-mother sell her flat in Pratt's Bottom. Will the solicitor commission an energy assessment or do I organise this?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a mandatory component of selling a property. An EPC should be commissioned before the property is put on the market. It is not a task that solicitors normally organise. Where you are instructing a Pratt's Bottom conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with long established local assessors
I have been advised by my solicitor that chancel insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Pratt's Bottom?
The appropriate level of chancel indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, TSB are being problematic. The Pratt's Bottom solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but TSB are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB 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.
It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Pratt's Bottom concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 residence 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.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Pratt's Bottom. Conveyancing and Accord Mortgages Ltd mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing solicitor in Pratt's Bottom who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Pratt's Bottom conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
