I am helping my aunt sell her property in Southport. Will the conveyancer arrange an energy assessment or it is for the owner to see to?

After the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments was left as a compulsory part of selling a property. An EPC must be commissioned before the property is placed on the market. This is not something that conveyancers ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Southport conveyancing lawyer they might be able to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable local providers

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Southport conveyancing lawyers are appointed. How long does it take for Clydesdale to forward the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Clydesdale conducted the valuation? Have you informed Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Santander. Is it usual for Santander to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Southport is approved on their conveyancing panel? Santander have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Santander to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

How does conveyancing in Southport differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Southport approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Southport tend to purchase 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 used to new build conveyancing in Southport or who has acted in the same development.
