After the demise of HIPs, energy assessments was left as a mandatory component of selling a house. An energy assessment needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being placed on the market.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Claverdon. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Claverdon?

On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Claverdon. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

My wife and I have a renovated Victorian house in Claverdon. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Claverdon and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to sub-let our Claverdon garden flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a Claverdon conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Claverdon do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
