Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Brighstone

Is the fact that my solicitor in Brighstone is not identified on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?

That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Brighstone conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

I am helping my aunt sell her flat in Brighstone. Will the conveyancer commission an energy assessment or it is for the seller to see to?

Following the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments was retained a compulsory component of selling a property. An EPC must be to hand before the property is advertised. This is not something that conveyancers normally organise. If you are using a Brighstone conveyancing solicitor they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with reputable local energy assessors

Historically registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore registration formalities is not usually primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Brighstone. All leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are missing. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party.

A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage.
