Following the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was retained a compulsory part of moving property.

Please help - my lawyer advises that lack of planning permission insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Roath conveyancing?

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Roath. I have a mortgage offer with Co-operative. Conveyancing is new to me. 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 Co-operative, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Roath differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Roath contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because developers in Roath 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 used to new build conveyancing in Roath or who has acted in the same development.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Roath. I've discover a site which looks to be the perfect offering If there is a chance to get all formalities completed via email that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
