After the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s remained a mandatory element of selling a property. An energy performance certificate must be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. This is not something that law firms ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Barton Le Clay conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established local providers

I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Barton Le Clay. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as usual because all rents and service charges should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date.

My husband and I are buying a 2 room flatin Barton Le Clay with a home loan from a lender. We would like to retain our lawyer in Barton Le Clay however our mortgage company inform us now that she’s not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the our mortgage company panel firms or keep our Barton Le Clay solicitor and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The lender home loan issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had open panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Barton Le Clay : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
