RIGHT TO BUY
You are acquiring a property in which you reside at an
agreed discount and where certain restrictions on re-sale will
apply. It will be necessary to carry out all necessary
searches although you may already have knowledge of the
property. Time scales in which to complete the transaction
will apply.
In most cases we will also act on behalf of your mortgage
company.
We offer a concessionary charge for Right to Buy cases and any
member of our experienced conveyancing team would be pleased
to offer a free consultation and tailor made cost quotation.

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.
