I am helping my aunt sell her house in Crickhowell. Will the conveyancer order an energy performance certificate or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of HIPs, energy performance certificates remained a required element of selling a house. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand before the property is advertised. This is not something that law firms normally arrange.
