I am assisting my aunt sell her property in Quorn. Does the solicitor commission the energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments became a required element of moving property. An EPC needs to be commissioned prior to the property being marketed. It is not something that law firms normally arrange. Where you are using a Quorn conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with reputable Quorn providers
Is it the case that all Quorn CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing list of approved firms?
It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
We were going to get a AIP from UBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any Quorn solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Quorn solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Quorn?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Quorn. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Quorn differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Quorn approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Quorn tend to purchase the land, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Quorn or who has acted in the same development.
