I am assisting my step-mother sell her house in Bovey Tracey. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission an EPC or it is for the owner to coordinate?
After the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s was left as a required part of selling a house. An energy assessment needs to be commissioned prior to the property being marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers ordinarily organise. If you are using a Bovey Tracey conveyancing lawyer they may help arrange energy assessments given their contacts with long established Bovey Tracey accredited person
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Bovey Tracey conveyancing lawyers were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Aldermore?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Aldermore done the survey? Have you advised Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Bovey Tracey accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Bovey Tracey. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland?
It is usual to have concerns 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, Bovey Tracey conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Bovey Tracey.

My uncle purchased his flat in Bovey Tracey ten years ago. He has since got married, divorced and in recent months got married again. He now wishes to the sell the Bovey Tracey property. I suspect that he will just be requested to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the lawyer but he is worried it could frustrate the conveyancing. Should he instruct a property lawyer to update the Land Registry documents for the property?
You are not required to update the title for the property on the basis that you have the evidence required to demonstrate how the change of name resulted.
Any buyer’s solicitor will check the title details and requisition evidence to prove the name change for instance marriage documentation.
