After the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments was maintained a required component of moving property. An energy performance certificate must be commissioned in advance of the property being put on the market. This is not something that lawyers ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Liversedge conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established Liversedge energy assessors
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Liversedge. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Soon after, the property lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Santander conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Santander panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Bank of Ireland have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Liversedge has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Bank of Ireland or your financial adviser and finalise any outstanding paperwork. Bank of Ireland will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or vendor to book a time for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Bank of Ireland 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 Liversedge.
Have purchased a a detached house in Liversedge , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Liversedge conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the registration formalities are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Liversedge is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am purchasing my first flat in Liversedge with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could impact my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
