As someone unfamiliar with the Winchester conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can give me concerning the house moving process in Winchester
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Winchester and elsewhere in Hampshire is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the seller, property agent and even potentially the bank. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Winchester an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
There is a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process being so protracted. You must always trust your solicitor ahead of the other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.
I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Winchester. Does the conveyancer commission an energy assessment or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates remained a compulsory part of moving property. An energy assessment should be to hand prior to the property being advertised. This is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers normally organise. If you are using a Winchester conveyancing solicitor they may be willing to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with long established Winchester energy assessors

We expect to receive a OIP from Kent Reliance this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Winchester solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Winchester solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
Various web forums that I have visited warn that are the main reason for obstruction in Winchester conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Winchester.
Is it best to choose a Winchester conveyancing solicitor based in the vicinity that I am purchasing? An old friend can conduct the legal formalities however they are based 300miles away.
The benefit of a local Winchester conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and the majority were content that should outweigh using an unknown Winchester conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Winchester. Before I get started I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Winchester - 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.
