I am acquiring a house without a mortgage in Finedon. I have been residing for the last Seventeen years in Finedon. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Finedon conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to take that path of advice. One thing to consider; if you are likely to dispose of the house at a future date, it could be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. Sometimes properties with functional issues can still throw up unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Finedon should be able to give you some sensible advice in this regard.
I purchased a freehold residence in Finedon yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Finedon and has limited impact for conveyancing in Finedon 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

I currently have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in Finedon. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Yorkshire BS?
Your original mortgage agreement with Yorkshire BS will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Yorkshire BS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Yorkshire BS directly. You need not do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel lawyer.
