I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Pyle. Will the solicitor commission the energy performance certificate or do I organise this?

After the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was maintained a compulsory element of selling a house.

Where you are using a Pyle conveyancing solicitor they may be willing to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with long established local providers

We had selected solicitors located in Pyle on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate amount for handling the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Bank of Ireland?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer may levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Bank of Ireland but by your Pyle conveyancing practitioner.

How does conveyancing in Pyle differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Pyle approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Pyle usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Pyle or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Pyle is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

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