I am helping my sister sell her house in Redcar. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to coordinate?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a mandatory element of moving house. An energy assessment must be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. It is not a task that conveyancers normally arrange. If you are instructing a Redcar conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with long established local providers
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Bank of Ireland are being problematic. The Redcar 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.

Should you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
