I am assisting my sister sell her property in Hartlebury. Will the conveyancer commission an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments became a compulsory part of selling a property. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand prior to the property being advertised. It is not a task that law firms ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Hartlebury conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established local energy assessors
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Hartlebury. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Hartlebury?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.
