I am assisting my aunt sell her house in Tottenham Hale. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?
After the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was maintained a compulsory component of selling a house.

My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Tottenham Hale. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?

It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Tottenham Hale bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Tottenham Hale conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The conveyancer must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Tottenham Hale I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Tottenham Hale suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Tottenham Hale
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Tottenham Hale conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
