I am helping my aunt sell her property in Wickersley. Will the solicitor commission an energy assessment or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was left as a required element of selling a house. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned before the property is marketed. It is not something that lawyers ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a Wickersley conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable local providers
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Wickersley. I have a mortgage offer with Co-operative. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use 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 Co-operative, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
I have a mortgage with Bank of Ireland for my property in Wickersley. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Bank of Ireland?
Your original mortgage agreement with Bank of Ireland will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Bank of Ireland will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Bank of Ireland directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel firm.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Wickersley is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wickersley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully.

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.

How does one as executor remove a departed person's details from the title deeds for a house in Wickersley?
Where a Wickersley property is jointly owned and one of the owners passes away, their name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to amend the title as when it comes to a disposal you would simply be asked to supply proof why the joint proprietor is missing from the contract, normally this is in the form of the probate documents.
With the aim of making things smoother in the future you may arrange to have the deceased party erased from the title by applying to HM Land Registry with proof of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
