I am helping my aunt sell her house in Hindley. Will the solicitor commission the EPC or should I organise this?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s became a compulsory part of moving property. An energy assessment needs to be to hand prior to the property being placed on the market. This is not a task that solicitors normally arrange. If you are using a Hindley conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established Hindley assessors
I am due to move property in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Hindley. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent however this can only occur when the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. After that you will need to advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Hindley or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Hindley.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Kent Reliance. I assume I don't need a Hindley conveyancer on the Kent Reliance panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Kent Reliance mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Kent Reliance mortgage from the register. Kent Reliance, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Kent Reliance has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Kent Reliance has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I am about to exchange buying a property in Hindley but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated recompense from the current proprietors of £2k in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however the lender will not permit this. Why were they involved?
Any conveyancing practitioner being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise the mortgage company of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to notify the reduction to your lender then they would have to discontinue representing you and the bank.
