I am assisting my step-mother sell her property in Barnes Cray. Does the solicitor order an energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?

Following the abolition of HIPs, energy performance certificates was maintained a required component of moving house. An EPC should be commissioned before the property is marketed. This is not a task that law firms ordinarily arrange.

We expect to receive a OIP from Coventry BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Barnes Cray solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Barnes Cray solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.

RBS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in Barnes Cray has been agreed to, what happens next?

The property agent will need to be advised as to your property lawyer's details (make sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Call up RBS or the broker and complete any appropriate documentation. RBS will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to arrange a time for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. RBS will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Barnes Cray.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to let out our Barnes Cray basement flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Barnes Cray conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Barnes Cray do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can a leaseholder make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Barnes Cray conveyancing firm to represent me?

in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to assess the price.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Barnes Cray premises is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case related to 13 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 76 years.
