The sellers of the house we are hoping to buy are using a conveyancing solicitor in Harehills who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
There are two primary concerns with executing a lock out agreement (occasionally referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing work, so in the absence of it needing minimal or no negotiation then it may turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not strongly advocated by Harehills conveyancing practitioners as a result. A further issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is not likely to obtain an injunctive ruling by a court to prevent the seller disposing of the property to a third party, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the recovery of abortive charges and, in restricted scenarios, the additional payment of damages.
I purchased a freehold property in Harehills yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Harehills and has limited impact for conveyancing in Harehills 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 generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
My wife and I have a terraced Georgian property in Harehills. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Britannia. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Harehills and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Harehills before appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some banks tend not grant a mortgage on this type of house.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements from Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Harehills. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
My step-father has recommend that I use his lawyers for conveyancing in Harehills. Should I find my own conveyancer?
No doubt it’s preferable to find a conveyancing practitioner is to get recommendations from friends or relatives who have experience in using the conveyancer that you are contemplating using.
