I am assisting my niece sell her house in Borth. Does the solicitor commission the energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?
Following the demise of HIPs, EPC’s was left as a compulsory part of moving property. An energy assessment needs to be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not something that lawyers ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Borth conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with reputable local assessors
We had appointed conveyancers locally in Borth on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate charge for the legal aspects of the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Leeds Building Society?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor is entitled to charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Leeds Building Society but by your Borth conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Borth building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Borth conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the solicitor is on the lender approved list, she or he must follow the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
