I am assisting my niece sell her flat in Wellesbourne. Will the conveyancer order an energy assessment or it is for the seller to see to?
After the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s was left as a compulsory part of selling a house. An energy assessment should be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not a task that conveyancers normally arrange. If you are using a Wellesbourne conveyancing practitioner they may help arrange energy assessments given their contacts with reputable Wellesbourne energy assessors

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Wellesbourne solicitor having made sure that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham 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. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Wellesbourne postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Wellesbourne.
My wife and I purchased a terraced Victorian property in Wellesbourne. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Wellesbourne and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in Wellesbourne differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wellesbourne contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Wellesbourne typically 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Wellesbourne or who has acted in the same development.
What does commercial conveyancing in Wellesbourne cover?

Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial loans and the termination of leases.
