I am helping my niece sell her flat in Southwick. Does the conveyancer commission an EPC or should I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments remained a required component of selling a property. An EPC should be commissioned before the property is advertised. This is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Southwick conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with long established local accredited person
My wife and I purchasing a terrace house in Southwick. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will legal investigations on the property include checks to ascertain if these alterations are permitted?
Your solicitor should check the registered title as conveyancing in Southwick can occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of alterations or need the consent of a 3rd party. Many additions require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Southwick
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Southwick conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
My wife and I expecting to complete buying a house in Southwick but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have negotiated recompense from the seller of four thousand pounds in the form of a adjustment in the price.
