I am helping my sister sell her house in Clevedon. Does the conveyancer commission an EPC or it is for the seller to coordinate?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates remained a required component of selling a house. An energy assessment must be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. It is not a task that law firms normally organise. Where you are using a Clevedon conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with reputable Clevedon assessors
It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Clevedon bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Clevedon conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender panel, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Nottingham are being pedantic. The Clevedon solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nottingham are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I used Stirling Law a few years past for my conveyancing in Clevedon. Now, I need my documents however cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Clevedon is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Clevedon are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Clevedon you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Clevedon 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.

Is it worth updating the title information for the house?
