I am helping my aunt sell her property in Holmrook. Will the solicitor order the energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
Following the demise of HIPs, energy performance certificates was kept a compulsory component of selling a property. An EPC must be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not a task that law firms normally arrange. Where you are using a Holmrook conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange EPC’s given their contacts with long established local assessors
I'm at the point of looking at flats in Holmrook and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it best to have a solicitor on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with Yorkshire BS.
It would be advisable 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 details on to the selling agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Holmrook. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £150. A few days later, the property lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Bank of Ireland panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
