I am helping my step-mother sell her house in Abbots Bromley. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy assessment or do I organise this?

After the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was left as a mandatory element of moving property. An EPC should be to hand before the property is advertised.

The estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s panel). Call up Nottingham or your financial adviser and finish off any relevant forms. Nottingham will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Nottingham will send the offer to you and your lawyers.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Abbots Bromley with a mortgage from Santander. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

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.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Our property lawyer in Abbots Bromley is asking me for personal identification documents asserting that this is part of his retainer as a solicitor on the lender Solicitor panel. Can you confirm whether this is the case?

Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the mortgage company. This is not specific to conveyancing in Abbots Bromley
