Me and my fiance are acquiring a leasehold flat in Cherry Willingham. My Solicitor has never been on on the mortgage company conveyancing list. Is it possible for me to appoint my Cherry Willingham conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel?
Your options include
- Complete the deal with your preferred Cherry Willingham lawyer but your bank will need to retain a lawyer from their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional charges together with likely interruption.
- Appoint a new solicitor to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancing practitioner to pull out all the stops to get listed on the bank’s conveyancing panel
I purchased a freehold residence in Cherry Willingham yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Cherry Willingham and has limited impact for conveyancing in Cherry Willingham 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 post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Cherry Willingham off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Clydesdale. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds.
