After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was kept a mandatory element of moving house. An energy assessment must be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. It is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Pentre conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange EPC’s given their contacts with long established local assessors

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Santander but by your Pentre conveyancer. Some firms on the Santander panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

If you have finished paying off your RBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your RBS mortgage has been paid off.

    Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Pentre I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Pentre for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Pentre. I've discover a web site which seems to have the perfect solution If it is possible to get all formalities completed via web that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?
