I am helping my mother sell her property in Nottinghamshire. Does the conveyancer commission an energy performance certificate or should I organise this?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates remained a mandatory part of moving house. An energy performance certificate needs to be commissioned before the property is placed on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a Nottinghamshire conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with long established local providers
Can you help - my lawyer advises that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Nottinghamshire conveyancing?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Halifax and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
Is it the case that all Nottinghamshire solicitor practices on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be governed by the CLC.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Nottinghamshire and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Nottinghamshire. We have lived in Nottinghamshire for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Nottinghamshire is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Nottinghamshire are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Nottinghamshire you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Nottinghamshire may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Is it simple use the search facility to get a quote from a conveyancing solicitor in Nottinghamshire on the panel for my bank?
First choose a bank such as Nationwide Building Society, Virgin Money or Clydesdale then specify your preferred area for instance Nottinghamshire. Conveyancing organisations in Nottinghamshire and further afield should be identified.
How does one as executor remove a departed person's name from the title deeds for a property in Nottinghamshire?
If a Nottinghamshire property is co-owned and one of the owners dies, the name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to remove their name as when it comes to a disposal your conveyancer would just need to evidence as to the reason the co owner is missing from the conveyance, such as a grant of probate.
With the aim of making things smoother in the future you can apply to have the deceased name erased from the title register by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with proof of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
