I am assisting my mother sell her house in Custom House. Will the conveyancing solicitor order an energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to coordinate?
After the demise of HIPs, EPC’s remained a compulsory part of moving house. An EPC should be commissioned before the property is marketed. This is not a task that conveyancers normally arrange. If you are instructing a Custom House conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with reputable local energy assessors
We previously instructed conveyancers with offices in Custom House on the UBS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate fee for handling the UBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by UBS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by UBS but by your Custom House property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the UBS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Custom House. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £200. Shortly after, the conveyancer called me to say that they were not on the RBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the RBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
How does conveyancing in Custom House differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Custom House approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because builders in Custom House tend to purchase the site, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Custom House or who has acted in the same development.
