I am assisting my step-mother sell her house in Clydach. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission the energy assessment or should I organise this?

After the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was retained a mandatory element of moving house. An energy assessment should be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Clydach conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange EPC’s given their relationships with reputable Clydach accredited person

I am aiming to move home in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Clydach. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across this site.

On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the selling agent but this can only be done once the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you will need to tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Clydach or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Clydach.

My wife and I purchased a terraced Victorian property in Clydach. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Norwich and Peterborough Building Society to clarify?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Clydach and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

My husband and I are 17 days into a residential purchase having been recommend to a firm by the high street agent to handle our conveyancing in Clydach. I am am starting to be dissatisfied with the quality of service. Could you help me find new lawyers?

Comparable properties in Clydach with over 90 years remaining are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2081

With just 56 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £29,500 and £34,000 plus costs.

Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
