I am assisting my niece sell her flat in Chopwell. Does the solicitorcommission the energy performance certificate or it is for me to coordinate?

An EPC needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. This is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily organise.If you are using a Chopwell conveyancing lawyer they may help arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable local accredited person
How does conveyancing in Chopwell differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Chopwell contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Chopwell typically 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Chopwell or who has acted in the same development.
