I am helping my aunt sell her house in Baguley. Will the conveyancer order the energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s was left as a required component of moving house. An energy performance certificate must be commissioned prior to the property being advertised. It is not something that solicitors normally organise. If you are instructing a Baguley conveyancing solicitor they may be able to arrange EPC’s given their contacts with reputable local providers

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Baguley is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Baguley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Baguley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Baguley may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
