I am helping my sister sell her house in Barnes Cray. Will the conveyancing solicitor arrange an EPC or it is for me to coordinate?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s remained a compulsory part of moving house. An EPC should be commissioned before the property is advertised. It is not something that conveyancers ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Barnes Cray conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with reputable Barnes Cray assessors
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Barnes Cray. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Barnes Cray?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Barnes Cray. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be able to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
Is it the case that all Barnes Cray solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Yorkshire BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Barnes Cray I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Barnes Cray for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
