I am helping my aunt sell her property in Gatley. Will the conveyancer commission the energy assessment or should I organise this?
After the demise of HIPs, EPC’s became a required component of moving property. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand before the property is marketed. This is not a task that law firms ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a Gatley conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with reputable local assessors
is it true that all Gatley solicitor firms on the Santander conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Santander conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Many mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Santander have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Gatley has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancers are on the lender’s panel). Call up Santander or your broker and complete any relevant documentation. Santander will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or vendor to book a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Santander will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Gatley.
I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for delay in Gatley house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Gatley.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Gatley I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Gatley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
