I am assisting my niece sell her flat in Goodmayes. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy assessment or should I organise this?

After the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates became a compulsory part of moving house. An energy assessment must be commissioned before the property is placed on the market. This is not a task that lawyers normally organise. Where you are instructing a Goodmayes conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established Goodmayes providers

Intending to buy a flat in Goodmayes. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Goodmayes conveyancing practitioner is on the Principality conveyancing panel.

I had an offer accepted on a property in Goodmayes on 11/9/2025, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Clydesdale and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I got the keys to my apartment on 4 February and my personal details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Goodmayes advises it would be recorded inside ten days. Are titles in Goodmayes particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Goodmayes registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am purchasing a new build house in Goodmayes with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my lawyer about the extras as it will put at risk my mortgage with Chelsea Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to sub-let our Goodmayes garden flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Goodmayes conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

The lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the flat owner; specifically, it will indicate if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Goodmayes do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.

After months of negotiations we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Goodmayes. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
