I am assisting my mother sell her property in Borough Green. Will the solicitor order an energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to see to?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was kept a compulsory part of selling a property. An energy assessment must be to hand before the property is advertised. It is not something that lawyers ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Borough Green conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with reputable Borough Green assessors

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, UBS are being problematic. The Borough Green solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I have recentlybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Borough Green for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Borough Green conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Borough Green differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Borough Green approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Borough Green typically buy the real estate, 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 Borough Green or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Borough Green I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Borough Green in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
