After the abolition of HIPs, EPC’s became a compulsory element of selling a house. An EPC must be commissioned prior to the property being put on the market.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent but this should only take place once the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Shenley or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Shenley.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Shenley on 27/6/2025, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Aldermore and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Are Aldermore entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
