When can the exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Martock and am I required to be at the lawyers office?

I am helping my mother sell her property in Martock. Will the conveyancing solicitor arrange the energy performance certificate or should I organise this?
After the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s remained a required part of moving house. An energy assessment must be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Martock conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable local energy assessors
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Bank of Ireland are being pedantic. The Martock solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Bank of Ireland are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland 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.
How does conveyancing in Martock differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Martock come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Martock usually buy the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Martock or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Martock is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Martock are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Martock you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Martock may determine 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 residence.
