I am assisting my step-mother sell her house in Rise Park. Will the conveyancing solicitor arrange the energy assessment or it is for me to see to?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s remained a mandatory component of selling a house. An EPC should be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. It is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Rise Park conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with reputable Rise Park energy assessors
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Rise Park. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
I have instructed a Rise Park lawyer having checked that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Rise Park postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Rise Park.

How does conveyancing in Rise Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Rise Park come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Rise Park tend to acquire the real estate, 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 Rise Park or who has acted in the same development.
