I am helping my niece sell her house in Milton Keynes. Does the solicitor order the energy assessment or it is for the owner to see to?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s became a compulsory part of moving property. An EPC must be commissioned prior to the property being advertised. It is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers normally organise. Where you are instructing a Milton Keynes conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange EPC’s given their relationships with reputable Milton Keynes energy assessors
I am due to move home in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Milton Keynes. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from your selling agent but this can only take place after the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. You should tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Milton Keynes or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Milton Keynes.
I am being told by my solicitor that restrictive coveneant insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Milton Keynes conveyancing?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
How does conveyancing in Milton Keynes differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Milton Keynes contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Milton Keynes typically acquire the land, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Milton Keynes or who has acted in the same development.
My step-father has suggested that I use his conveyancing solicitors in Milton Keynes. Should I use them?

I have just started marketing my ground floor flat in Milton Keynes. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have just received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the service charge as normal as all ground rent and maintenance charges should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
