I am helping my mother sell her flat in Blackpool. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to see to?

After the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments was left as a mandatory element of selling a house. An EPC needs to be to hand prior to the property being advertised. It is not a task that lawyers normally organise. Where you are instructing a Blackpool conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established Blackpool assessors

We have agreed to purchase a house in Blackpool. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must follow the formal instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Blackpool.

My wife and I are at the point of looking at apartments in Blackpool and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a lawyer in place at this point? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Aldermore.

You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the EA. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Aldermore, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Blackpool is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Blackpool are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Blackpool you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Blackpool may decide 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.
