I am assisting my step-mother sell her house in Kenley. Does the solicitor arrange an energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was kept a required part of selling a property. An energy assessment should be commissioned prior to the property being marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Kenley conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established local providers
I just acquired a property at auction in Kenley. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?
Having to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you will need to instruct a conveyancing lawyer soon as you now have a pending a fixed date to complete the conveyancing. Every auction property should have a corresponding auction pack. This will include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold premises the auction papers should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation relating to leasehold premises. You should hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that your finances are in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
How can we tell if a Kenley conveyancing solicitor on the Yorkshire BS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Kenley getting recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer handling your transaction.
I have todaybeen informed that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Kenley for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can make 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 Kenley conveyancing specialists.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Kenley with a loan from Chelsea Building Society. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent told me not to tell my solicitor about the side-deal as it may affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Kenley is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Kenley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kenley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kenley may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Should I cancel the direct debit for my mortgage with Principality once a completion date for my sale in Kenley has been set?
