Completed the sale of my flat in Stourbridge last June yet the purchaser is texting me to say their lawyer needs to hear from mine. What should have happened following completion?

I am helping my aunt sell her house in Stourbridge. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission an EPC or do I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was kept a mandatory part of moving house. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned prior to the property being marketed. This is not something that law firms ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Stourbridge conveyancing lawyer they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established local energy assessors
I am aiming to move property in January. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Stourbridge. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent but this can only take place when the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. Subsequently you should inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Stourbridge or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Stourbridge.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Stourbridge bank branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Stourbridge conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Stourbridge I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stourbridge suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
