Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments remained a compulsory part of moving property. An energy assessment should be commissioned prior to the property being advertised. It is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers normally arrange. If you are instructing a Whitton conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with long established local accredited person
My partner and I are spending time looking at houses in Whitton and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a mortgage with RBS.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with RBS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Whitton off the council. I have a mortgage offer with HSBC. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
I am buying a new build house in Whitton with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this deal as it would adversely affect my loan with Birmingham Midshires. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
My husband and I are one month into a residential purchase having been referred to a firm by the estate agent to do our conveyancing in Whitton. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?

My intention is to acquire a garden flat in Whitton. Conveyancing lawyer is waiting for, from the seller, building insurance schedule. I was told today I was informed that the vendor needs to send the insurance schedule for the flat above in addition. Why does my conveyancer want to review the insurance for the flat above? Is it really required? We have been stalled for the last month…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Whitton to discover Conveyancing in Whitton in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the complete building - which is clearly better. You should contact your conveyancing practitioner but it would seem that your conveyancer is attempting to verify that the whole building is insured. Insuring a ground floor apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reconstructed as a result of lack of insurance cover.
