I am assisting my step-mother sell her property in Jarrow. Does the conveyancer order an energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to see to?
After the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments was maintained a mandatory component of selling a house. An energy assessment must be commissioned prior to the property being placed on the market. This is not a task that law firms ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Jarrow conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established local assessors

I'm the only recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Jarrow. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this provision principally exists to identify subsales or the flipping of property.
My wife and I own a renovated Victorian house in Jarrow. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Coventry Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Jarrow and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
