I am helping my aunt sell her flat in Irby. Will the solicitor commission an EPC or it is for the owner to see to?
Following the demise of HIPs, EPC’s became a required component of selling a property. An energy assessment needs to be commissioned prior to the property being advertised. This is not a task that lawyers ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Irby conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange EPC’s given their relationships with long established local assessors
My wife and I have arranged the release of further monies on our home loan from TSB as we wish to carry out alterations to our home in Irby. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Irby solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
TSB do not ordinarily instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the TSB conveyancing panel.
I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Irby bank branch on various occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Irby conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The conveyancer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I have recentlybecome aware that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Irby for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Irby conveyancing specialists.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Irby. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Irby

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared.
I would like to let out my leasehold flat in Irby. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Some leases for properties in Irby do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
Leasehold Conveyancing in Irby - Sample of Questions you should ask Prior to buying

What is the the remaining lease term? Most Irby leasehold properties will incur a service bill for maintenance of the block levied on behalf of the landlord. Where you acquire the apartment you will have to meet this charge, usually periodically accross the year. This can be anything from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built buildings. In all likelihood there will be a ground rent to be met yearly, this is usually not a exorbitant sum, say around £25-£75 but you need to check it because on occasion it can be many hundreds of pounds. For most Irby leaseholds the cost for major works tend not to be wrapped into the service charges, although a few managing agents in Irby obliged leasehold owners to pay into a reserve fund created for the specific purpose of building a fund for major repairs or maintenance.
Our sealed bid on detached house in Irby was agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and has viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Irby. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Irby conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Kent Reliance approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.
