My wife and I are acquiring a maisonette in Bedale. My Solicitor is not on the mortgage company conveyancing list. Can I still continue with my Bedale conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
You will need to instruct a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the legal work required when you require a mortgage to buy your home. They will conduct all the necessary legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in place. You can select a Bedale solicitor of your choice. Nevertheless, if the property lawyer selected is not a member of the bank approved list further fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not historically applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Bedale but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Bedale and has limited impact for conveyancing in Bedale 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 establishment of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bedale is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Bedale are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bedale you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bedale may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
