Please help. My Harrold solicitor is advising me that he is legally obliged toorder Harrold conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Lloydssolicitor panel. Is my lawyer right?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Harrold conveyancing searches.

I am helping my mother sell her property in Harrold. Does the conveyancer order the energy performance certificate or it is for me to see to?
Following the demise of HIPs, energy performance certificates was kept a mandatory component of moving property. An energy performance certificate should be to hand prior to the property being marketed. This is not a task that lawyers normally organise. If you are using a Harrold conveyancing lawyer they may help arrange EPC’s given their relationships with reputable Harrold energy assessors

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Harrold. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Harrold I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Harrold in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
