I am helping my niece sell her house in Belgravia. Will the conveyancer order the energy performance certificate or it is for me to coordinate?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a required component of moving property. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand prior to the property being marketed. This is not a task that solicitors ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Belgravia conveyancing lawyer they may help arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established Belgravia providers

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Belgravia accepted, the owners do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The sellers have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Belgravia. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Lloyds?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Belgravia conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many purchasers would apply for a home loan with Lloyds and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Belgravia.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Belgravia with the purpose of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Belgravia can be avoided if you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ solicitors. If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should ensure that you have the original share certificate. Obtaining a new share certificate can be a lengthy process and frustrates many a Belgravia conveyancing deal. If a reissued share certificate is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where relevant) for this sooner rather than later. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s approval? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Belgravia state that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord approving such works. Should you dont have the consents in place you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor in advance. Many landlords or Management Companies in Belgravia levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should discover the actual amount of the charges. The management information sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most usual cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Belgravia.
