A big part of the Elmswell legal transfer of property is the conveyancing searches. There are numerous companies delivering Elmswell conveyancing searches, as well straight from the local authority.

I own a freehold residence in Elmswell but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Elmswell and has limited impact for conveyancing in Elmswell 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 generation of new rentcharges post 1977.

Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.

Do I need to attend the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Elmswell so that I can pop in to their offices if necessary.

Most conveyancing panel lawyers for mortgage companies carry out all of the work via the post, internet or over phone calls.

Registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not always an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Elmswell is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Elmswell are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Elmswell you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Elmswell may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
