I am helping my step-mother sell her property in Danescourt. Will the conveyancer arrange an EPC or should I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates became a mandatory element of moving house. An energy performance certificate needs to be commissioned prior to the property being put on the market. It is not something that solicitors ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Danescourt conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established local energy assessors
We are planning to move house in December. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Danescourt. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the estate agent however this should only be done after the sellers lawyers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you should inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Danescourt or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Danescourt.
I have a mortgage with Kent Reliance for my property in Danescourt. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Kent Reliance?
You must advise Kent Reliance prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Kent Reliance’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Kent Reliance directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel lawyer.

Should I be concerned that brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Danescourt conveyancing firm?
As is the case with many professional services, often suggestions from connections can be worth their weight in gold. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may recommend conveyancers to choose. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your own lawyer. Don't forget that the majority of lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
I work for a busy estate agent office in Danescourt where we see a few flat sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Danescourt conveyancing solicitors. Can you confirm whether the owner of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
