I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Sprotbrough. Will the solicitor order the energy assessment or should I organise this?

After the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was retained a compulsory component of moving house. An energy performance certificate must be commissioned prior to the property being advertised. This is not a task that law firms normally organise. Where you are using a Sprotbrough conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange EPC’s given their contacts with reputable local assessors

is it true that all Sprotbrough solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Sprotbrough. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Sprotbrough 10 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be recorded by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, find your house and get up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Sprotbrough. I've discover a web site which appears to be the perfect solution If it is possible to get all this stuff completed via web that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Looking forward to sign contracts shortly on a studio apartment in Sprotbrough. Conveyancing solicitors inform me that they are sending me a report next week. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Sprotbrough should include some of the following:

Additions to the property Whether the landlord has obligations to ensure rights of quiet enjoyment over your property and do you know what it means in practice?

Repair and maintenance of the flat Ground rent - what is payable and what the invoice dates are, and also know whether this is subject to change

I inherited a ground floor flat in Sprotbrough, conveyancing having been completed in 2007. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Sprotbrough with over 90 years remaining are worth £227,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2097

With 72 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
