I am assisting my mother sell her property in Nether Stowey. Does the conveyancing solicitor arrange an energy assessment or it is for me to see to?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was kept a mandatory part of moving property. An EPC should be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. It is not a task that solicitors ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Nether Stowey conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange EPC’s given their relationships with long established Nether Stowey energy assessors

I had an offer accepted on a house in Nether Stowey on 30/4/2025, valuation was booked 2 days after, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Yorkshire BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Nether Stowey benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it could affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
