I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (seven years old) in Biddenham. 95% of the flats are already occupied. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Biddenham?
Conveyancing Searches are a vital link in the Biddenham conveyancing process. There are numerous companies conducting Biddenham conveyancing searches, as well direct from the local authority. These are generally termed personal search organisation due to them carrying out, personal searches. However, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must secure their information from the local authority.
I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Biddenham but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Biddenham and has limited impact for conveyancing in Biddenham 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 post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
The deeds to my home are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Biddenham 5 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should be aware exactly where to look for all the suitable paperwork so you may buy or sell your property without a hitch. Where duplicates can’t be found, your solicitor can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on your premises.
I was pointed in your direction by numerous selling agents in Biddenham to get a quote from a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your site rather than a competitor’s?
We refuse to make any financial incentive for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
