After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was kept a required part of moving house. An energy assessment must be to hand prior to the property being placed on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms ordinarily arrange.

I am buying a property in Sprowston. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender RBS be concerned?

Given that your lender is RBS your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to RBS where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Sprowston.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Sprowston lawyer having made sure that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS 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 Sprowston 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.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Sprowston. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Sprowston

    The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct the agent's preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Sprowston

It is improbable the owners are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Sprowston conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.

I'm remortgaging a property in Sprowston. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't find my lawyer's name on the list. Should I be concerned?

Not all staff in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
