Following the demise of HIPs, energy assessments was retained a required part of moving property. An energy assessment should be to hand before the property is marketed. It is not a task that solicitors ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Whitchurch conveyancing lawyer they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established Whitchurch energy assessors

is it true that all Whitchurch solicitor practices on the RBS conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

As solicitors, in order to be on the RBS approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Whitchurch agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Whitchurch. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with UBS?

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Whitchurch conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the UBS approved list. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with UBS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to proceed with the conveyancing in Whitchurch.

I am selling our house in Whitchurch and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Whitchurch lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Whitchurch. We have lived in Whitchurch for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You should 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)

My brother has suggested that I instruct his conveyancers in Whitchurch. Do I take his advice?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Whitchurch conveyancing lawyer it’s preferable to select a conveyancing lawyer is to have guidance from friends or relatives who have previously instructed the firm you're contemplating using.

What are my options where I am not happy with the lawyer who carried out my conveyancing in Whitchurch?

We live in an imperfect world, and is is a fact of life that sometimes things do go wrong. That being said there is recourse where you were dissatisfied with your conveyancing in Whitchurch. This varies from trying to resolve matters directly with them, through to reporting a property lawyer to their regulator.
