Following the demise of HIPs, energy performance certificates was left as a required element of moving house. An energy assessment needs to be to hand before the property is advertised.

A selection of lenders now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

Planning on purchasing a house in South Woodford. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the South Woodford solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in South Woodford 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know exactly where to look for all the appropriate paperwork so you may buy or sell your property without any difficulty. Where copies can’t be located, your conveyancer can put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the property.

Should you need a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
