I am helping my aunt sell her house in Hedge End. Will the conveyancer arrange an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments remained a mandatory part of selling a house. An energy assessment should be to hand before the property is marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms normally arrange. Where you are instructing a Hedge End conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established Hedge End assessors
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Hedge End conveyancing lawyers are appointed. How long does it take for Bank of Ireland to send the offer to the solicitor?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Bank of Ireland done the valuation? Have you advised Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
My offer was accepted on a property in Hedge End on 10/10/2025, valuation was booked 2 days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Principality and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have justdiscovered that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Hedge End for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Hedge End conveyancing specialists.
