After the abolition of HIPs, energy performance certificates remained a mandatory element of moving house.

If you are instructing a Loxford conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with reputable Loxford assessors
This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Loxford. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Loxford?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
I am purchasing a property in Loxford. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender HSBC be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with HSBC your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to HSBC where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Loxford.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Loxford I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Loxford in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
