My home in Hilperton is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will my lawyer have to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.

I am helping my sister sell her property in Hilperton. Does the solicitor order the energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?

Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was kept a required element of moving house. An EPC must be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. It is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers normally organise. Where you are instructing a Hilperton conveyancing solicitor they might be able to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with reputable Hilperton energy assessors

Can I be sure that the Hilperton conveyancing solicitor on the Clydesdale panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Hilperton obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor handling your transaction.

My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Lloyds as we want to carry out improvements to our property in Hilperton. Are we obliged to appoint a nearby Hilperton solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

Lloyds would not normally appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds panel.

We are planning on selling our house in Hilperton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Hilperton. Having lived in Hilperton for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Hilperton.Conveyancing has not commenced however I have recently had a quarterly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as usual as all rents and service invoices will be allottedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
