Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates became a compulsory element of selling a property. An energy assessment must be commissioned before the property is put on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Barlaston and Tittensor conveyancing solicitor they might be able to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established Barlaston and Tittensor accredited person
is it true that all Barlaston and Tittensor solicitor firms on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Many lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be overseen by the CLC.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Barlaston and Tittensor

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
