I purchased a freehold residence in Beckton but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Beckton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Beckton 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 have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.
What happens if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Co-operative Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Beckton?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Beckton

Your property lawyer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Beckton will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain changes or necessitated the permission of a 3rd party. Some extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Beckton. 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 Lloyds 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 Beckton solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Beckton took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am 3 weeks into a leasehold purchase having been directed to a firm by the local agent to carry out the conveyancing in Beckton. I am not happy. Could you help me find new lawyers?
A lawyer would need to be really bad to suggest changing them. Has your mortgage been generated? In the event that it has you will need to inform them of the replacement conveyancer and ensure the offer are re-issued. Your conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental expenses and delays. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers.
