I am assisting my mother sell her flat in Thurrock. Will the solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was maintained a mandatory part of selling a property. An EPC needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being marketed.

I am attracted to a two maisonettes in Thurrock which have in the region of fifty years left on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?
