I am assisting my sister sell her property in Iver. Does the conveyancing solicitor order an EPC or it is for the owner to coordinate?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was maintained a required component of moving property.

I just bought a flat at auction in Iver. Conveyancing is required. What is next?
Given that you are now exchanged you now have to appoint a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of urgency as you are faced with a tight deadline in which to complete the deal. Every auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction pack. This will include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the auction pack should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You should give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete on the date specified in the contract.

How does conveyancing in Iver differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Iver come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Iver usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Iver or who has acted in the same development.

I’m about to sell my basement flat in Iver. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just received a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the maintenance contribution as usual given that all ground rent and service payments should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
