I am buying a terraced house in Basinghall. How practical is it for me to do the conveyancing?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Basinghall you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Basinghall.
I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Basinghall. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates became a mandatory part of selling a house. An energy performance certificate must be to hand before the property is advertised. It is not something that solicitors normally arrange. If you are instructing a Basinghall conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange EPC’s given their contacts with long established Basinghall providers
My father informed me that in buying a property in Basinghall there may be a number of restrictions as to what one can do in terms of external changes to a property. Is this right?

Part of the conveyancing in Basinghall should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
We had chosen conveyancing lawyers with offices in Basinghall on the Kent Reliance solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate charge for handling the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Kent Reliance?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your Basinghall conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Kent Reliance panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Basinghall.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Basinghall 4 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
