I am assisting my niece sell her property in Gotham. Will the solicitor arrange an EPC or it is for the owner to coordinate?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was maintained a mandatory component of moving property. An energy assessment should be to hand prior to the property being marketed. This is not a task that lawyers normally organise. Where you are instructing a Gotham conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with reputable Gotham energy assessors

If you have purchased leasehold premises the conveyancing pack may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation relating to a leasehold property. You must pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Gotham off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Coventry BS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Coventry BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

HM Land Registry are legally bound to specify price paid data on a register of the title for domestic properties countrywide which includes premises in Gotham. The register of title is a public document, so HMLR would be breaking the law if they failed to allow access to the register.
In essence you can make a request of the Land Registry to hide the amount paid entry but the response will be in the negative.
