I am assisting my aunt sell her flat in Dersingham. Will the conveyancing solicitor order the EPC or it is for the seller to see to?

Following the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments was left as a required component of moving house. An EPC needs to be commissioned prior to the property being marketed.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Dersingham. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Dersingham?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

My partner and I are in the process of looking at apartments in Dersingham and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a lawyer appointed at this point? I intend to finance via a home loan with Lloyds.

It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Lloyds, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

I purchased a terraced Georgian house in Dersingham. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Dersingham and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

Taking into account that I am about to part with £400,000 on 3 bedroom house in Dersingham I wish to talk to a solicitor concerning theconveyancing before instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer due to be conducting your conveyancing in Dersingham.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important person, not a file number. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for your conveyancing in Dersingham should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.

Completion is due on our sale of a £225,000 garden flat in Dersingham next Wednesday. The managing agents has quoted £348 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Dersingham?

Dersingham conveyancing on leasehold apartments normally necessitates the purchaser’s lawyer sending enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address these enquiries most will be content to do so. They are entitled to charge a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it exceeds £800. The management information fee invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, otherwise the charge is not strictly payable. In reality one has little choice but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to sell the property.

Dersingham Leasehold Conveyancing - Sample of Questions you should ask before buying

Does the lease have more than 85 years left?

Best to be warned if redecorating or some other major work is coming up to be shared amongst the tenants and may well materially increase the the service charges or result in a one off invoice.

Where a Dersingham lease has no more than eighty years it will impact the value of the apartment. It is worth checking with your bank that they are content with the length of the lease. A short lease means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will be be obliged to have been the owner of the premises for two years in order to be eligible to extend the lease.
