I am helping my mother sell her flat in Brown Edge. Will the solicitor order the energy assessment or do I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates remained a mandatory component of moving house. An EPC should be commissioned before the property is put on the market. It is not a task that solicitors ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Brown Edge conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with reputable local assessors
I happen to be the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Brown Edge. The Brown Edge property was put into my name in February. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this requirement is chiefly there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
Is it the case that all Brown Edge solicitor firms on the Barclays conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Barclays approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority.

How does conveyancing in Brown Edge differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Brown Edge come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Brown Edge usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Brown Edge or who has acted in the same development.
