I am assisting my step-mother sell her flat in Tufnell Park. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission the energy performance certificate or should I organise this?
Following the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s was maintained a compulsory part of selling a house. An energy performance certificate should be to hand before the property is advertised. This is not something that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Tufnell Park conveyancing lawyer they might be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with long established Tufnell Park assessors
We are purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Tufnell Park. We would like to convert the garage to a playroom at the property.Will legal due diligence on the property involve enquiries to ascertain if these works are prohibited?
Your conveyancer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Tufnell Park can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of works or necessitated the consent of another owner. Some additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
Virgin Money have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in Tufnell Park has been accepted, what happens next?
The property agent will want to be informed of your lawyer's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Virgin Money or your broker and finish off any relevant forms. Virgin Money will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to receive the mortgage offer. Virgin Money will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Tufnell Park.
My partner and I are downsizing from our property in Tufnell Park and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Tufnell Park. We have lived in Tufnell Park for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

We are a couple of weeks into a leasehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the local agent to do our conveyancing in Tufnell Park. We are not happy. Could you help me find new conveyancers?
They would have to be really poor to suggest changing them. Has the loan offer been issued? If so you need to advise them of the new contact details and have the mortgage documents are re-issued. The solicitor ideally should be on the lenders approved list to avoid escalating charges and delays. So that should be your starting point.
