After the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s was kept a required part of moving house. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand prior to the property being advertised.

We are purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Kenton. Our aim is to an extension at the rear at the property.Will legal work on the property include checks to determine if these alterations are permitted?
Your conveyancer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Kenton will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of changes or need the permission of another owner. Many extensions require local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
How does conveyancing in Kenton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Kenton approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Kenton tend to acquire the site, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Kenton or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Kenton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Kenton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kenton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kenton may decide 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 property.
