I am assisting my step-mother sell her house in Ranmoor. Does the solicitor commission an energy assessment or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments remained a mandatory part of moving property. An EPC needs to be to hand prior to the property being advertised. This is not a task that lawyers ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Ranmoor conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with reputable Ranmoor providers
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Ranmoor off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Nationwide. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
My sealed bid on a semi in Ranmoor has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Ranmoor. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Ranmoor conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your property lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some purchasers would apply for a home loan with Bank of Ireland and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Ranmoor.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Ranmoor I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Ranmoor for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Ranmoor being more expensive?

Firstly sellers usually require contracts to exchange very quickly, the result being a lot of pressure on your property lawyer to ensure all is in order. In addition new build properties often necessitate examination of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates.
