I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to be out of my let out flat in Kelvedon by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Can I complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?

I am assisting my niece sell her property in Kelvedon. Does the conveyancer commission an energy assessment or it is for the seller to see to?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was kept a compulsory element of selling a property. An energy performance certificate must be commissioned before the property is placed on the market. It is not a task that law firms normally arrange. Where you are using a Kelvedon conveyancing solicitor they may be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with reputable Kelvedon energy assessors
Is it the case that all Kelvedon solicitor firms on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

I can not fathom if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Kelvedon building society branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Kelvedon conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the conveyancer is on the lender panel, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the 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 acquired my flat on 13 March and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Kelvedon said it should be dealt with in less than a month. Are transfers in Kelvedon particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Kelvedon registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration takes place once the buyer is living at the property therefore registration formalities is not usually top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Should one remove a departed person's details from the title deeds for a property in Kelvedon?
Where a Kelvedon property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors passes away, their name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to remove their name as when it comes to a sale you would just be asked to supply proof why the other proprietor is not included in the conveyance, usually this takes the form of a grant of probate.
With a view to making the sale conveyancing more straight forward for the sale of the property you can arrange to have the deceased party removed from the title by applying to HMLR with proof of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
