I am purchasing a property mortgage free in Edge Hill. I have been living for the last 15 years in Edge Hill. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Edge Hill conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . Do take into account; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it will be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. Sometimes premises with apparent issues can still reveal unpredicted search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Edge Hill should provide you some helpful advice in this regard.
I am the registered owner of a freehold premises in Edge Hill but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Edge Hill and has limited impact for conveyancing in Edge Hill 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.
What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the Co-operative Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Edge Hill?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
