I am helping my aunt sell her property in Locksbottom. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission an EPC or do I organise this?
After the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates remained a compulsory element of moving property. An EPC needs to be commissioned before the property is placed on the market. This is not a task that lawyers ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Locksbottom conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable local assessors
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as a first time purchaser of a garden flat in Locksbottom. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Locksbottom?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Locksbottom. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their recommended lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Locksbottom
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Locksbottom conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on the disposal of our £125,000 maisonette in Locksbottom in 8 days. The freeholder has quoted £420 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Locksbottom?
Locksbottom conveyancing on leasehold apartments usually involves the buyer’s solicitor submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer these enquiries the majority will be content to assist. They are entitled to levy a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it is above £800. The management information fee invoiced by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration charges, otherwise the invoice is technically not due. In reality one has no option but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to complete the sale of your home.
