After the abolition of HIPs, energy performance certificates was kept a mandatory part of selling a house.

I'm at the point of looking at apartments in Hilperton and I am about to put in an offer. Is it wise to have a property lawyer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with Virgin Money.
It would be wise to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Hilperton accepted, the owners do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Hilperton. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS going?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Hilperton conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Hilperton.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Hilperton is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Hilperton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hilperton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hilperton may decide 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 premises.

Should I instruct a Hilperton conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can carry out the legal formalities but her office is a couple of hundredmiles away.
The primary upside of using a high street Hilperton conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to sign documents, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Hilperton know how is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and in the main were content that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Hilperton conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
