Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hengoed

I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Hengoed yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Hengoed and has limited impact for conveyancing in Hengoed 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 creation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.

Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be extinguished.

How does conveyancing in Hengoed differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Hengoed approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Hengoed typically acquire 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 Hengoed or who has acted in the same development.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Hengoed. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Hengoed - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
