I am helping my mother sell her house in Small Heath. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy assessment or do I organise this?
Following the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s became a mandatory component of selling a house. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand prior to the property being marketed. This is not a task that conveyancers normally arrange. Where you are instructing a Small Heath conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange EPC’s given their contacts with reputable Small Heath providers
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Small Heath. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an upfront payment of £225. Shortly after, the property lawyer called me to say that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Small Heath on 7/2/2025, valuation was booked 3 days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to RBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
