I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Beckenham. I I am struggling to find out whether they are accepted on the approved list of lawyers. Could you assist?
The first thing you should do is call the lawyer and enquire whether they can act for the bank. Otherwise please call who may be able to assist.
I am helping my aunt sell her property in Beckenham. Will the conveyancing solicitor arrange the EPC or should I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s remained a required element of moving property. An energy assessment must be commissioned before the property is placed on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms ordinarily organise.Where you are using a Beckenham conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable local providers
My partner and I are planning on selling our home in Beckenham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Beckenham. Having lived in Beckenham for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with local Authority to get confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
