I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Tunstall. Will the conveyancing solicitor order the energy performance certificate or it is for me to see to?

After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was maintained a required part of moving property. An EPC must be to hand prior to the property being marketed.

We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers based in Tunstall on the Nottingham solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further amount for the legal aspects of the Nottingham mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Nottingham?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Nottingham but by your Tunstall property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Nottingham panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Tunstall. I have a mortgage offer with RBS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel.

The deeds to our home are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Tunstall 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be recorded by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and obtain up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.

I have been pointed in your direction by a couple of local property agents in Tunstall to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your site over another?

We refuse to make any commission for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

We are expecting to complete buying a property in Tunstall but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed recompense from the vendor of £3k in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but the bank will not permit this. Why were they approached?

Any property lawyer listed on a lender conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to the bank of any changes to the purchase figure. If you did not allow your property lawyer to report the price change to your lender then they would have no choice but to disinstructing themselves from representing you and the bank.
