Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Aston

I hired a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Aston yesterday. Upon checking the Terms I seewe are responsible for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or instruct an internet lawyer advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Aston?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to counteract the transactions that abort. Dont forget that such deals rarely protect you from disbursements by way of example Aston conveyancing search charges.

I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Aston but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Aston and has limited impact for conveyancing in Aston but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be extinguished.

It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Aston building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Aston conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

The conveyancer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Intending to buy a maisonette in Aston. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Aston property lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Aston on 17/3/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, all came back fine. Solicitor appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Barclays and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Are Barclays entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I need some expedited conveyancing in Aston as I have pressure to sign on the dotted line within one month. Thankfully I do not require a mortgage. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are not obtaining a home loan you have the choice not to have searches conducted although no lawyer would recommend that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Aston the following are examples of issues that can be revealed and adversely affect future saleability: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Charges, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...

My partner has suggested that I appoint his conveyancers in Aston. Should I use them?

There are no two ways about it it’s preferable to find a conveyancing practitioner is to seek guidance from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor you're are thinking of instructing.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Aston. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just received a yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as usual because all rents and service charges will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
