I am helping my mother sell her house in Torquay. Will the solicitor order the energy assessment or should I organise this?
After the demise of HIPs, EPC’s was retained a compulsory part of selling a property. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not something that conveyancers ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Torquay conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange energy performance certificates given their contacts with long established Torquay assessors
I am the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Torquay. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in December. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. Some mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this clause is primarily there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Co-operative, do Torquay solicitors face a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any bank fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
