I chose a local firm for our conveyancing in Swindon today. After carefully reading the small print it is apparent thatwe are responsible for costs even if the sale doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to use an on-line solicitor practice advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Swindon?

We are selling our apartment in Swindon. Will the property lawyer have to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the HSBC conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.

I am helping my step-mother sell her property in Swindon. Does the solicitor arrange the EPC or it is for me to see to?

After the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments was kept a mandatory component of selling a house. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand before the property is placed on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Swindon conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established local providers

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Swindon. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Soon after, the lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS 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.

I have instructed a Swindon conveyancing practitioner having checked that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Swindon postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Swindon.

    The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? 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.
