Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bridlington

I am the registered owner of a freehold premises in Bridlington but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Bridlington and has limited impact for conveyancing in Bridlington 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 from 1977 onwards.

Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.

My apartment in Bridlington is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does the lawyer have to be required to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently currently.

Me and my brother purchased a terraced Victorian property in Bridlington. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Santander. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bridlington and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Bridlington I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bridlington suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension 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 concerning this.

What does commercial conveyancing in Bridlington cover?

Bridlington conveyancing for business premises incorporates a broad range of guidance, given by regulated solicitors, relating to business premises. For instance, this area of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more commonly, the assignment of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of leases.

I previously informed by my lender that their panel solicitors operate no move no charge basis for conveyancing in Bridlington. I had a purchase abort yet the solicitors want search fees! They are stating that the fees are nothing to do with their fees!

By offering "no move no fee" Bridlington conveyancing lawyers are writing off their fees for any work carried out. We should point out that this does not constitute an insurance scheme. you will still need to cover any charges that your solicitor has expended on your behalf such as Bridlington local authority checks
