I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Brynmill. Will the solicitor order an EPC or it is for me to see to?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was kept a mandatory component of selling a house. An EPC must be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. This is not something that conveyancers normally arrange. If you are using a Brynmill conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established Brynmill assessors
We had instructed solicitors based in Brynmill on the Skipton solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further sum for dealing with the Skipton mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Skipton?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Skipton but by your Brynmill solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Skipton panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Brynmill conveyancer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as usual as all rents and maintenance payments should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date.
