I purchased a freehold residence in Gunnersbury but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Gunnersbury and has limited impact for conveyancing in Gunnersbury 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 generation of fresh 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 post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
My wife and I buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Gunnersbury. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal conveyancing on the property involve investigations to see if these works were previously refused?
Your solicitor should check the deeds as conveyancing in Gunnersbury can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain works or require the consent of another owner. Some additions need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Gunnersbury. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Gunnersbury solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
Our offer on a detached house in Gunnersbury has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Gunnersbury. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Gunnersbury conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Kent Reliance approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to move forward with searches.
How does conveyancing in Gunnersbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Gunnersbury approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Gunnersbury tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Gunnersbury or who has acted in the same development.
