Having sold my house in Trimdon last September yet the purchaser is calling daily to moan that their solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Post completion of your sale your solicitor should send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Where relevant, your conveyancer should also evidence that the home loan has been repaid to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion formalities peculiar conveyancing in Trimdon.
I am helping my mother sell her house in Trimdon. Will the conveyancing solicitor arrange an energy assessment or do I organise this?
Following the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments was kept a required component of moving house. An EPC needs to be commissioned before the property is put on the market. This is not something that conveyancers ordinarily organise. If you are using a Trimdon conveyancing solicitor they may help arrange EPC’s given their relationships with long established local energy assessors
Intending to buy a flat in Trimdon. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Trimdon solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Trimdon property lawyer having made sure that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Trimdon postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Trimdon.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Trimdon ground floor flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Trimdon conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Trimdon do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review 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 consent.
