I purchased a freehold residence in Harrold but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Harrold and has limited impact for conveyancing in Harrold 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
What happens if my solicitor is removed from the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Harrold?
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 for a fee.
I have justbecome aware that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Harrold for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Harrold conveyancing specialists.

My mother and father are having problems in finding their Harrold land registry title on the online search facility. They recall that fifty years ago when they acquired the property there were complications with Harrold not being identified on some systems.
The vast majority of premises in Harrold should show up. Have you tried a search to just the postcode. Ordinarily it will disclose all the residences within that postcode. Where registered it will be there with a title number. Where they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The property might still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title papers which may be with your parent’s bank.
