I am assisting my aunt sell her property in Pangbourne. Will the conveyancing solicitor arrange an energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?

Following the demise of HIPs, energy performance certificates was kept a compulsory element of selling a property. An EPC must be to hand before the property is put on the market. It is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers ordinarily arrange.

I am the sole recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Pangbourne. The Pangbourne property was put into my name in October. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this requirement principally exists to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Pangbourne conveyancing solicitors were selected. How long does it take for Clydesdale to issue the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?

Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that may impact a commercial land in Pangbourne?

How does conveyancing in Pangbourne differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Pangbourne contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Pangbourne usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Pangbourne or who has acted in the same development.

Given that I am about to part with £400,000 on a property in Pangbourne I wish to talk to a solicitor regarding theconveyancing before instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the lawyer who will be doing your conveyancing in Pangbourne.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a file number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Pangbourne should be the figure that you end up paying.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Pangbourne. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Pangbourne - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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.

I purchased a split level flat in Pangbourne, conveyancing formalities finalised 4 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Corresponding flats in Pangbourne with over 90 years remaining are worth £176,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease expires on 21st October 2104

With only 80 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £7,600 and £8,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
