I am assisting my niece sell her property in Nelson. Does the solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
After the demise of HIPs, EPC’s was left as a compulsory part of moving house. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand before the property is put on the market. This is not a task that solicitors normally arrange. If you are using a Nelson conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable local energy assessors

I can not fathom if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Nelson building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Nelson conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
The conveyancing practitioner must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 specifications for your bank. 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.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Nelson. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Nelson - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
