I am helping my mother sell her house in Northwick Park. Does the conveyancing solicitor order the EPC or it is for the owner to coordinate?
Following the demise of HIPs, EPC’s was kept a required element of moving house. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned in advance of the property being put on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors normally arrange. If you are using a Northwick Park conveyancing lawyer they may help arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established local accredited person
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. Northwick Park conveyancing practitioners have been instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from TSB?
There is no definitive answer here. Have TSB conducted the valuation? Have you advised TSB as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the TSB conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Northwick Park. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A couple of days later, the conveyancer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Barclays 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 Barclays 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 decided to have a survey done on a house in Northwick Park prior to appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold home.

I was recommended by a number of property agents in Northwick Park to get a quote from a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
Developers have suggested I use a conveyancing practitioner and I've obtained a quote from them. It's nearly £400 cheaper than my local Northwick Park property lawyer. What's the catch?
Developers often have panels of property lawyers who are quick and who know the builder's documentation and conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to select their approved solicitor for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder will not put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they need an exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested property lawyer is that they may be unwilling to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should stick with your local Northwick Park conveyancer.
