I am assisting my step-mother sell her house in Nelson. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission an EPC or do I organise this?
Following the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s was left as a compulsory part of moving house. An EPC should be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not something that conveyancers normally organise. Where you are using a Nelson conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable Nelson accredited person
I am aiming to move house in December. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Nelson. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from the property agent but this should only take place when the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. You should advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Nelson or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Nelson.
I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Nelson building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Nelson conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the property lawyer is on the lender approved list, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
