I am helping my niece sell her flat in Tonyrefail. Will the conveyancer arrange the EPC or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was kept a compulsory part of selling a house. An energy assessment must be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. It is not something that lawyers ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Tonyrefail conveyancing solicitor they may be able to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with long established local providers
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Tonyrefail conveyancing solicitors have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Coventry BS?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Coventry BS done the valuation? Have you advised Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Tonyrefail. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Tonyrefail conveyancing practitioner is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Tonyrefail differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Tonyrefail come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Tonyrefail usually acquire the site, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Tonyrefail or who has acted in the same development.

Being a tenant I am liable for a service charge for my appartment in Tonyrefail. As a result of poor financial planning I fell into arrears with payments. The freeholders agreed a clearance schedule but there remains a couple of currently due.
I am under pressure to sell and I am worried this may threaten to derail the sale if I have to pay off the amount due first. I'd like to sell up and subsequently repay the arrears from the proceeds - is this possible?
Do clarify with the conveyancing practitioner dealing with your Tonyrefail conveyancing but it might be possible to arrange for the outstanding amount to be transferred to the purchasers. The final price due would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They would then deal with the outstanding monies once they are the owners.
