- Complete the purchase with your preferred Bulls Cross solicitors but Lloyds TSB Bank will need to instruct a lawyer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the overall legal fees as well as result in frustration.
- Choose a new solicitor to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are on the Lloyds TSB Bank panel
I am helping my sister sell her house in Bulls Cross. Will the solicitor commission an EPC or it is for the owner to see to?
After the demise of HIPs, EPC’s became a required part of moving house. An energy assessment needs to be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. This is not something that lawyers normally arrange. If you are using a Bulls Cross conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with long established Bulls Cross accredited person

In the case of leasehold property the auction papers should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You need to hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity.
