I am helping my mother sell her property in Sunbury On Thames. Does the conveyancer commission an energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to see to?
Following the abolition of HIPs, EPC’s remained a mandatory part of selling a property. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned in advance of the property being marketed. It is not a task that lawyers ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Sunbury On Thames conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established Sunbury On Thames providers
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Sunbury On Thames. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £225. A couple of days later, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
