Following the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates became a required part of selling a property. An EPC should be to hand in advance of the property being marketed.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Rotherham conveyancing solicitors have been appointed. How long does it take for Leeds Building Society to forward the offer to the solicitor?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Leeds Building Society done the valuation?

Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to have this when purchasing a house in Rotherham? or I am told that there is historic law that means some homeowners residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for repairs towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this a legitimate concern for conveyancing in Rotherham?

Unless a previous purchase of the house took place after 12 October 2013 you can expect lawyers conducting conveyancing in Rotherham to continue to recommend a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

The deeds to our property can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Rotherham 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

Is it true that a Rotherham conveyancing practice taken to court by clients for failing to conduct the right conveyancing investigations?
