I am helping my sister sell her house in Lydney. Will the conveyancing solicitor order the EPC or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates remained a required part of moving property. An EPC must be to hand before the property is marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Lydney conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with reputable local energy assessors

Just acquired a terraced house in Lydney , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Lydney conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Lydney registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises so post completion formalities is not always an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Lydney I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lydney suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
