I am assisting my step-mother sell her flat in Shrewton. Does the solicitor commission the energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?
Following the demise of HIPs, energy assessments was left as a compulsory element of moving property. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned prior to the property being advertised. It is not a task that conveyancers normally arrange.

I currently have a mortgage with Skipton for my property in Shrewton. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Skipton?
Your original mortgage agreement with Skipton will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Skipton will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Skipton directly. You need not do this via a Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor.
Our offer on a semi in Shrewton has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Shrewton. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Shrewton conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your property lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of buyers will apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Shrewton.

At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the property was constructed more than a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. They will highlight any obvious issues and recommend additional investigation if relevant.
