I am assisting my sister sell her house in Cirencester. Will the solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or should I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a compulsory part of moving property. An EPC needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. It is not a task that law firms normally organise. If you are using a Cirencester conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with long established local assessors
I am aiming to move property in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Cirencester. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the selling agent however this can only take place after the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. Subsequently you can inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Cirencester or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Cirencester.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Clydesdale. Is it usual for Clydesdale to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Cirencester is approved on their conveyancing panel? Clydesdale have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
We are selling our house in Cirencester and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Cirencester conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Cirencester. We have lived in Cirencester for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I used Stirling Law several years ago for my conveyancing in Cirencester. I now require my file but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Cirencester is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Cirencester are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cirencester you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cirencester may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
As co-executor for the estate of my father I am selling a house in Newport but live in Cirencester. My solicitor (approximately 250 kilometers from meneeds me to sign a statutory declaration before completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Cirencester to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Cirencester based
