I am assisting my mother sell her house in Linslade. Does the conveyancing solicitor order an EPC or should I organise this?
Following the demise of HIPs, EPC’s was left as a required component of moving property. An EPC needs to be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. This is not something that law firms ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Linslade conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable local assessors
I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Linslade. The Linslade property was put into my name in October. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause is principally there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
Skipton have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a property in Linslade has been accepted, what happens next?
Your property agent will want to be informed of your solicitor's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Skipton or the broker and complete any outstanding forms. Skipton will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to schedule a time for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. Skipton will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Linslade.
I am downsizing from our property in Linslade and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Linslade. Having lived in Linslade for many years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Linslade completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we use their recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Linslade
It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your own,trusted Linslade conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.
