I am helping my aunt sell her property in Silvertown. Will the conveyancer arrange an energy performance certificate or should I organise this?

Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a compulsory component of moving property. An energy performance certificate must be to hand before the property is marketed. This is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Silvertown conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with long established Silvertown providers

On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your selling agent however this should only take place after the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. After that you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Silvertown or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Silvertown.

I am purchasing a new build house in Silvertown with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with Britannia. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Silvertown is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Silvertown are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Silvertown you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Silvertown may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
