I am assisting my sister sell her flat in Surrey Quays. Will the conveyancing solicitor arrange the energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to coordinate?

After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates became a required element of selling a property. An EPC should be to hand prior to the property being marketed. This is not something that lawyers normally organise. Where you are using a Surrey Quays conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established Surrey Quays providers

is it true that all Surrey Quays conveyancing solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Yorkshire BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Some banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be overseen by the CLC.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Surrey Quays?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Surrey Quays. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I am buying my first flat in Surrey Quays with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this extras as it could put at risk my loan with Barclays . Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Surrey Quays. I happened to chance upon a web site which appears to be the perfect solution If there is a chance to get all the legals completed via web that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

My wife and I have agreed a price on a Surrey Quays flat left to us 8 years ago in 2009. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing knowledge and, although retired, see no reason not to conduct my own legal work. The purchaser's conveyancing practitioner has informed me that their mortgage company will not allow us to do our own conveyancing insisting the funds to be released via a solicitor's bank account.

Mortgage requirements to solicitors from all CML members state that If the seller does not have legal representation the borrower's lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be told so that a decision can be made if they are prepared to progress.
