I am helping my aunt sell her flat in Melling. Will the solicitor order the energy assessment or it is for the seller to see to?

Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was retained a required element of moving property. An energy assessment must be to hand prior to the property being put on the market. It is not something that solicitors normally organise. If you are using a Melling conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with reputable local accredited person

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Melling solicitor on the Lloyds panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Lloyds mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Lloyds mortgage from the register. Lloyds, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Lloyds has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Lloyds has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Lloyds mortgage has been paid off.

I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Melling. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £225. Soon after, the solicitor 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.

Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are the number one cause of hinderance in Melling house deals. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Melling.

The deeds to our property are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Melling 4 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?

You no longer need to have the physical deeds to evidence that you are the owner of your registered land or premises, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Melling I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Melling for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
