We have rather brash vendors who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a payment 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
This type of contract is unusual in Great Stanmore, conveyancers will often encourage clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no certainty that just because the owner has entered into a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they are offered a large enough offer to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equate the extra amount that your vendor may secure by breaking the contract, no matter how morally shameful the behaviour is.
I purchased a freehold house in Great Stanmore yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Great Stanmore and has limited impact for conveyancing in Great Stanmore 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 from 1977 onwards.
Previous 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.
I need some fast conveyancing in Great Stanmore as I am under pressure to complete in less than one month. Thankfully I do not need a mortgage. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

I moved into my flat on 6 May and my personal details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Great Stanmore advises it should be formalised in less than a month. Are properties in Great Stanmore particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Great Stanmore is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the property thus 'speed' is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Great Stanmore is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Great Stanmore are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Great Stanmore you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Great Stanmore 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 residence.
We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint their preferred lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Great Stanmore
It is improbable the sellers are behind this. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Great Stanmore conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
