I am assisting my sister sell her house in Wealdstone. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission the EPC or it is for the owner to see to?
After the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments became a compulsory component of selling a property. An energy performance certificate must be commissioned before the property is placed on the market. It is not a task that law firms ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Wealdstone conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable local assessors
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Wealdstone off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Nationwide. 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 Nationwide, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Wealdstone building society branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Wealdstone conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Wealdstone is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wealdstone you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
