I am helping my aunt sell her flat in Nether Edge. Does the solicitor order the energy assessment or do I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was kept a compulsory component of selling a property. An EPC should be to hand prior to the property being put on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers normally organise. Where you are instructing a Nether Edge conveyancing solicitor they may be able to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with reputable Nether Edge providers
My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Nether Edge. Conveyancing is needed. What are my next steps?
Given that you are now exchanged you now have to appoint a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of priority as you are faced with a pending deadline in which to complete the purchase. Every auction property will have a bespoke auction pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold premises the conveyancing pack may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Nether Edge. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Nether Edge?

My partner and I are selling our house in Nether Edge and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Nether Edge lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Nether Edge. Having lived in Nether Edge for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I have recentlydiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Nether Edge for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Nether Edge conveyancing specialists.

The primary upside of using a high street Nether Edge conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Nether Edge know how is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and on the whole were happy that should trump using an unfamiliar Nether Edge conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being based in the area.
Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on our sale of a £325,000 maisonette in Nether Edge on Thursday in a week. The freeholder has quoted £324 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and previous years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Nether Edge?
Nether Edge conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes normally necessitates the purchaser’s conveyancer sending enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to assist. They may levy a reasonable charge for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it is in excess of £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration charges, otherwise the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to sell the property.
