Much to our surprise we have been told by our IFA that my Dalston solicitor is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. How can I be certain if this is indeed the case?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to call your Dalston conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Dalston conveyancing firm that is on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
I am about to complete buying a house in Dalston but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the vendor in the sum of £3k in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Santander will not agree to this. Should they have been informed?
Any conveyancer being on the Santander conveyancing panel is required to advise Santander of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to disclose the price change to Santander then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Santander and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Dalston.
I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Dalston but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Dalston and has limited impact for conveyancing in Dalston 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 fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
