I am assisting my mother sell her flat in Brockenhurst. Does the solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments was retained a required component of selling a property. An EPC must be to hand before the property is placed on the market. This is not something that lawyers ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Brockenhurst conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established Brockenhurst providers
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Brockenhurst on 3/9/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, all came back fine. Solicitor appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to UBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel. Are UBS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Brockenhurst

Contact the owners directly and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Brockenhurst conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
