I own a freehold property in Callerton yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Callerton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Callerton 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.
I am considering applying for a HSBC mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Callerton with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for HSBC ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but HSBC will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
I purchased my flat on 14 September and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Callerton advises it should be concluded inside ten days. Are transfers in Callerton uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Callerton registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the buyer is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Callerton and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to gives security of tenure to commercial lessees, granting the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Callerton is one of our many areas of the UK in which our lawyers are based
We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Callerton
It is unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your preferred Callerton conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Callerton. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Callerton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Can you tell me if there are any major works anticipated that will likely add a premium to the service fees? The best form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this arrangement the leaseholders benefit from being in charge if their destiny and notwithstanding that a managing agent is frequently retained where the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent retained by the leaseholders. What is the the remaining lease term?
