I am assisting my step-mother sell her property in East Beckton. Will the solicitor commission the energy assessment or it is for the seller to see to?
After the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments was left as a required element of moving house. An EPC needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being marketed. It is not something that solicitors ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a East Beckton conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange EPC’s given their contacts with long established local providers
I just bought a property at auction in East Beckton. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?
Having legally bound yourself to purchase you will need to find a conveyancing solicitor soon as you now have a pending a fixed date to complete the transaction. All auction property should have an associated auction pack. This will include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the conveyancing papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You should pass this on to the solicitor instructed by you ASAP. Do make sure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I am due to move property in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in East Beckton. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your estate agent however this can only take place after the previous owners solicitors confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. After that you can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in East Beckton or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in East Beckton.
My partner and I are downsizing from our home in East Beckton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street East Beckton conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in East Beckton. Having lived in East Beckton for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
