Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Sprowston is more expensive?
The conveyancing charges on a leasehold property in Sprowston is frequently greater than on a freehold property. This is because there is an amount of supplemental time required in dealing with the landlord and managing agents to collate the information concerning whether the rent and maintenance charges have been paid and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the building.
I am assisting my niece sell her house in Sprowston. Does the solicitor commission an energy assessment or do I organise this?
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. Where you are using a Sprowston conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with long established Sprowston energy assessors
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.

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.
