REMORTGAGE

There are a variety of reasons why you wish to re-mortgage your home and the timescale is often critical depending on the circumstances

With few exceptions all necessary searches that would have been made on the occasion of your original purchase will be undertaken and these can be carried out before the new mortgage offer is made, if requested. We will also act, in most cases, for your existing lender on the redemption of the existing mortgage and advise in the early stages of any early redemption charges that may apply.
We will account to you on the day of completion if you are raising additional funds and attend to Land Registry requirements.

Our dedicated team of residential conveyancers will consider your individual requirements to ensure the transaction proceeds swiftly.

ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATES (EPC)

Buildings are responsible for almost 50 per cent of the UK's energy consumption and carbon emissions. That's almost twice that of cars and planes. The way a building is constructed, insulated, heated, ventilated and the type of fuel used, all contribute to its carbon emissions.

Measures in England and Wales were implemented in October 2008 to improve the energy efficiency of our buildings, including:

  • introducing EPCs for all properties (homes, commercial and public buildings) - providing A-G efficiency ratings and recommendations for improvement - when bought, sold, built or rented all properties need an EPC. However, it will only be necessary to have commissioned an EPC to be prepared before marketing a property, rather than actually be in possession of one
  • requiring public buildings to display energy certificates (DECs)
  • requiring inspections for air conditioning systems
  • giving advice and guidance for boiler users

Larger public buildings also need to display an energy certificate and by 4 January 2009 the first inspection of all existing air conditioning systems over 250kW must have occurred. The first inspection of all remaining air conditioning systems over 12kW must have happened by 4 January 2011.

The above measures are part of European legislation - the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive - which all member states must adopt.
