I am helping my niece sell her property in Moorends. Will the conveyancer order an energy assessment or it is for the owner to see to?
After the demise of HIPs, energy assessments remained a required part of moving property. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not a task that law firms ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Moorends conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange EPC’s given their relationships with reputable local assessors

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Moorends. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Soon after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me to say that they were not on the Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale 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.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Moorends I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Moorends for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
