I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Framlingham yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Framlingham and has limited impact for conveyancing in Framlingham 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 establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old 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.
What happens if my solicitor is expelled from the Aldermore Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Framlingham?
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.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Framlingham. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Framlingham?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I am the single recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Framlingham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. many lenders would take a sensible view as this requirement chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
We were going to get a DIP from Skipton this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Framlingham solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Framlingham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
Will my solicitor be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Framlingham.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Framlingham. There are those who acquire a house in Framlingham, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Framlingham. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to discover whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser may commence a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading reply. A buyer’s lawyers should also carry out an environmental report. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be made.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business premises in Framlingham and how can you help?
The 1954 Act gives protection to business lessees, giving them the dueness to apply to court for a renewal tenancy and remain in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
