I am helping my niece sell her house in Roath. Will the conveyancer order the energy assessment or should I organise this?
After the abolition of HIPs, energy performance certificates became a compulsory part of moving house. An EPC needs to be to hand before the property is marketed. This is not a task that law firms normally arrange. Where you are instructing a Roath conveyancing practitioner they may help arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established Roath energy assessors

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Roath off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the selling agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Roath
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Roath conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures set by head office.
I wish to let out my leasehold apartment in Roath. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Your lease governs relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will say if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Roath do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the flat. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the tenancy agreement.
