I am helping my sister sell her flat in Edmonton. Does the solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was maintained a mandatory part of moving house. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned in advance of the property being put on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers normally organise. If you are instructing a Edmonton conveyancing solicitor they may be able to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with long established Edmonton accredited person

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Lloyds. Edmonton conveyancing lawyers are appointed. How long does it take for Lloyds to forward the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Lloyds done the survey? Have you informed Lloyds as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Edmonton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Edmonton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Edmonton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Edmonton may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
