I am assisting my mother sell her flat in The Park. Does the conveyancing solicitor arrange the energy performance certificate or it is for me to see to?
Following the demise of HIPs, EPC’s was left as a compulsory part of selling a property. An energy assessment needs to be commissioned prior to the property being marketed.

I purchased my flat on 12 January and my personal details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in The Park advises it will be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in The Park uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in The Park is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any other persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. The Park is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in The Park are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in The Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in The Park 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 residence.
