As someone not used to conveyancing in Egremont what is your top tip you can impart for the house moving process in Egremont

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Egremont and elsewhere in Cumbria is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for conflict between you and others involved in the house moving process. For example, the vendor, property agent and sometimes the bank. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Egremont is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.

We are witnessing a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your solicitor above all other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

I am helping my aunt sell her property in Egremont. Will the conveyancing solicitor arrange an energy assessment or do I organise this?

Following the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s remained a compulsory element of moving property. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned before the property is marketed. This is not something that solicitors normally arrange. If you are using a Egremont conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable local providers

We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from Lloyds as we want to conduct alterations to our home in Egremont. Do we need to appoint a local Egremont solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

Lloyds would not normally instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Egremont. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. UBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with UBS your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to UBS where a lease does not meet these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Egremont.

How does conveyancing in Egremont differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Egremont come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Egremont usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Egremont or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Egremont is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?

Flying freeholds in Egremont are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Egremont you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Egremont may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
