I am helping my sister sell her house in St Luke's. Does the conveyancing solicitor order the EPC or it is for the seller to see to?

After the abolition of HIPs, EPC’s was retained a required component of moving property. An EPC should be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. It is not something that conveyancers ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a St Luke's conveyancing practitioner they may help arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable St Luke's energy assessors

I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in St Luke's. The St Luke's property was put into my name in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the flipping of properties.

My wife and I are spending time viewing apartments in St Luke's and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with Coventry BS.

You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Coventry BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in St Luke's I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in St Luke's suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Last March I purchased a leasehold house in St Luke's. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?

In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

After months of dialogue we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in St Luke's. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
