I am assisting my aunt sell her flat in Rise Park. Does the conveyancer commission an EPC or it is for the owner to coordinate?
After the demise of HIPs, energy performance certificates remained a mandatory element of moving property. An EPC needs to be commissioned prior to the property being advertised. This is not a task that solicitors ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Rise Park conveyancing lawyer they might be able to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable Rise Park assessors
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Rise Park. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Rise Park solicitor - who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Rise Park surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need this when purchasing a residence in Rise Park? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that house owners residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards repairs to the chancel within the church. Is this a legitimate concern for conveyancing in Rise Park?
Unless a prior purchase of the premises completed after 12 October 2013 you can assume that solicitors handling conveyancing in Rise Park to remain recommending a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
How does conveyancing in Rise Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Rise Park come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because house builders in Rise Park typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Rise Park or who has acted in the same development.
I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Rise Park. I happened to stumble across a site which appears to be the perfect solution If there is a chance to get all the legals completed via phone that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Rise Park. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Rise Park - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I am the leaseholder of a first floor flat in Rise Park. In the absence of agreement between myself and the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the amount payable for a lease extension?
if there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to calculate the premium.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Rise Park property is Flat b 14 Kemble Road in May 2014. The Tribunal assessed the value of the premium payable for the lease extension to be £9,761 This case was in relation to 1 flat.
