I am assisting my aunt sell her house in Heath. Will the solicitor commission the EPC or it is for the owner to see to?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was kept a mandatory component of selling a house. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned before the property is marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors normally organise. If you are using a Heath conveyancing solicitor they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established Heath energy assessors
We have agreed to purchase a house in Heath. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Nationwide be concerned?
As your lender is Nationwide your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Nationwide where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Heath.

You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP.

As you are taking out a mortgage with TSB, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
We are selling our property in Heath and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Heath conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Heath. Having lived in Heath for six years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? 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 ailment)

My husband and I may need to sub-let our Heath ground floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Heath conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Heath conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to seek permission via your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. The consent should not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
I invested in buying a ground floor flat in Heath, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Heath with an extended lease are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2102
With only 76 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
