Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bayswater

I own a freehold property in Bayswater but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Bayswater and has limited impact for conveyancing in Bayswater 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 creation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.

Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Bayswater. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?

Now that you are exchanged you will need to appoint a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of priority as you will have a pending a fixed date to complete the deal. Every auction property will have a bespoke auction pack. This will include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the auction pack should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property.

Is it correct that all Bayswater CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Nationwide conveyancing list of approved firms?

A selection of banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their panels.

We were going to get a AIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Bayswater solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Bayswater solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.

I bought my house on 12 August and the transaction details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Bayswater expressed confidence that it would be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Bayswater particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Bayswater is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not usually top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
