I am helping my mother sell her house in Widdrington. Does the conveyancing solicitor arrange an energy assessment or do I organise this?

Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments became a required part of selling a property. An energy assessment needs to be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. This is not a task that law firms normally organise. Where you are instructing a Widdrington conveyancing solicitor they may help arrange energy performance certificates given their contacts with long established Widdrington energy assessors

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Widdrington. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Widdrington - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
