I purchased a freehold residence in Binfield yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Binfield and has limited impact for conveyancing in Binfield 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 generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
My wife and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from Nottingham as we intend to conduct improvements to our home in Binfield. Do we need to choose a nearby Binfield solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Nottingham do not ordinarily appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nottingham panel.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Binfield conveyancing practitioner on the Virgin Money panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Intending to buy a house in Binfield. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money 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 Binfield conveyancer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Binfield I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Binfield suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
My husband and I are one month into a leasehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the selling agent to do our conveyancing in Binfield. I am am extremely frustrated with the quality of service. Could you help me find new solicitors?

My mum and dad are encountering difficulties in finding their Binfield land registry title on the website. They recall that back in the 70’s when they purchased the property there were complications concerning Binfield not being recognised in some systems.
The vast majority of residences in Binfield should show up. Have you tried a search with simply the postcode. Normally it will reveal all the residences within that postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will show up with a title number. Where they bought 50 years ago it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The property could still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title documentation which could be with your parent’s mortgage company.
