I am helping my mother sell her house in East Dulwich. Does the solicitor commission an energy assessment or it is for the seller to see to?

After the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was retained a compulsory element of moving property. An energy performance certificate needs to be commissioned before the property is marketed. This is not a task that lawyers ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a East Dulwich conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with reputable East Dulwich providers

I just bought a house at auction in East Dulwich. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?

Given that you have now exchanged you must choose a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you are faced with a pending a fixed date to complete the transaction. An auction property will ordinarily have a bespoke auction set of papers. This will include most,if not all of the documents that your lawyer will need. In the case of leasehold property the legal pack may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation specific to a leasehold property. You need to hand this to the lawyer working for you as soon as possible. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in place to complete on the on the contractual date .

I am the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in East Dulwich. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. many lenders would take a sensible view as this obligation principally exists to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

I am selling our home in East Dulwich and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street East Dulwich conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in East Dulwich. Having lived in East Dulwich for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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 ailment)
