I am purchasing a leasehold flat in Brynford. My Conveyancer is not on the bank approved panel. Can I still use my Brynford conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank panel?
You have a number of options available to you here
- Proceed with your existing Brynford lawyer but your mortgage company will need to retain a conveyancer from their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional fees together with likely delay.
- Appoint a new conveyancing practitioner to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to attempt to join the mortgage company panel
I own a freehold house in Brynford yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Brynford and has limited impact for conveyancing in Brynford 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 generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Brynford is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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 premises.
