I am assisting my niece sell her property in Martlesham. Does the solicitor commission the energy performance certificate or it is for me to see to?
Following the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a mandatory element of selling a property. An energy performance certificate must be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. This is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers normally arrange. If you are using a Martlesham conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with long established local assessors
My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from RBS as we intend to carry out renovations to our home in Martlesham. Are we obliged to select a local Martlesham solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
RBS don't usually require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the RBS list.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, UBS are being pedantic. The Martlesham solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
