Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Coxhoe

Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Coxhoe. Can you please clarify why all Coxhoe lawyers are not on all lender panels?

Lenders ordinarily impose restrictions on either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. Frequent examples of such restriction(s) being that a organisation must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some banks decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the accuracy of service given by any Coxhoe conveyancer on their panel. Property fraud was the key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are opposing points of view concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data published by the Land Registry exposes that thousands of law firms only transact less than three conveyances annually. Those supporting conveyancing panel pruning ask why law firms deserve any entitlement to remain on a bank panel when clearly conveyancing is not their speciality?

I purchased a freehold property in Coxhoe yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Coxhoe and has limited impact for conveyancing in Coxhoe 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 creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous 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.

If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Coxhoe what would it be?

It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest Coxhoe conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need.

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.
