Home Information Packs, Based in Cardiff South Wales

Dalia Elhami-Evans — Tue, 03 May 2011 19:05:51 +0000

It is now a legal requirement that all properties marketed for sale have a Home Information pack, which is to be provided to all prospective buyers of the property. The pack must be provided by the seller of the property and is to contain information as to the title of the property, an Energy Performance Certificate and Local Authority and drainage search results. If the property is leasehold, a copy of the Lease is also required.

We have the facilities to produce Home Information packs at a competitive cost and will be happy to discuss the legal requirements with you. Please contact us for further information.

Wills & Probate

Dalia Elhami-Evans — Tue, 03 May 2011 19:04:31 +0000

Making a Will – No one likes the thought of leaving their loved ones, but it is important to consider the future and to make sure you have adequately provided for your family’s needs. The most reliable way in which to ensure this is done is by preparing a will setting out your personal wishes in respect of the distribution of your assets. If you already have a will it is also important to regularly review its contents to take account of any changes in your circumstances that could invalidate the will, such as marriage.

We understand that this is a sensitive issue and often difficult to consider and discuss, but we are able to offer a personal, discreet service to make the experience as straightforward and simple as possible, whether you are making a will for the first time or reviewing an existing will.

Obtaining Probate and Administration of an Estate – The loss of a loved one is a difficult thing to face but something that everyone will at one time or another have to go through. We can assist with the legal requirements that follow to ensure that you are able to deal with your loved one’s assets and carry out their wishes in line with their will.

If you want to discuss any of the above issues with one of our Solicitors, call us to make an appointment today.

Lasting powers of attorney

Dalia Elhami-Evans — Mon, 02 May 2011 19:06:55 +0000

Lasting Powers of Attorney were introduced in October 2007 to replace the previous system of Enduring Powers of Attorney. Lasting Powers of Attorney are often considered to be as important as a will, as they provide the appointed attorney with the power to deal with another persons affairs in the event of them becoming incapacitated or unable to deal with matters themselves. It is for these reasons that we strongly recommended everyone, regardless of age, consider obtaining an Lasting Power of Attorney.

Applications to the Court of Protection – In the event that a loved one becomes incapacitated and a Lasting or Enduring Power of Attorney is not in place, we can assist by making an application to the Court of Protection to appoint a designated person to deal with their affairs.

Contact us today for further information and to make an appointment to make a Lasting Power of Attorney.

Changes to Home Information Packs

Dalia Elhami-Evans — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 16:00:12 +0000

From 6th April 2009 important changes were made to the government’s Home Information Packs (HIPs).

It is now a legal requirement that a HIP must be available for a property before it is marketed for sale, which does away with the temporary marketing concession that allowed a vendor to market the property pending the HIP becoming available.

A HIP must also now contain a Property Information Questionnaire. This is a form completed by the vendor which provides simple information that may be of use to a potential purchaser, including council tax bands, a list of the utilities benefitting the property, parking arrangements and basic leasehold information where applicable.

Finally, the HIP must contain complete searches, including a local authority search, with no gaps in the data being covered by insurance. The searches can be produced direct by the local authority serving the property or through a personal search company but they must be comprehensive in the information they provide.

If you have any questions regarding the recent changes to the Home Information Packs, or if you would like further information about Evans and Jones’ Home Information Pack service please call 02920 020909 today.

A Further Drop in Interest Rates

Dalia Elhami-Evans — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 11:47:34 +0000

On 5th February the Bank of England again announced a cut in Interest Rates by half a percentage point, taking the figure to a record low of 1%. This is the lowest rate since the Bank was founded over 300 years ago.

A number of mainstream banks and building societies, including Halifax and Nationwide, have already announced that they will be passing the cut onto their customers with standard variable rate mortgages.
