I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Lloyds. I hope to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Forty Hill. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I purchased a freehold house in Forty Hill yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Forty Hill and has limited impact for conveyancing in Forty 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.
Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to visit the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Forty Hill so that I can attend their offices if required.
These days conveyancing panel lawyers for lenders undertake their communications via the post, e-mail or over the phone. This enables them to undertake the legal work for your home move no matter where you live in the country. However you can check if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if you prefer.

My husband and I are 3 weeks into a leasehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the high street agent to perform conveyancing in Forty Hill. I am am extremely disappointed with the level of service. Could you you assist me in finding new solicitors?
They would have to be really bad to suggest changing them. Has the loan offer been generated? If so you will need to inform them of the new conveyancer and have the offer are re-issued. Your conveyancer needs to be on the lenders panel to avoid added expenses and complications. So that should be your first question of the new lawyers.
