I am looking for value for money property lawyer. Do I opt for an online conveyancer as opposed to a family Hazlemere conveyancing lawyer?
Generally conveyancing lawyers in your location will enjoy excellent connections with your local authority, which can assist with the Hazlemere conveyancing searches that your lawyer will require. It can only assist if they enjoy existing connections with the Local Land Registry Office your area Hazlemere, other property lawyers in the location and Hazlemere selling agents.
I own a freehold house in Hazlemere but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Hazlemere and has limited impact for conveyancing in Hazlemere 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 hundreds of years, 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 post 2037 is to be extinguished.
Various web forums that I have visited warn that are the main cause of hinderance in Hazlemere house deals. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Hazlemere.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Hazlemere I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hazlemere suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
