I am looking for value for money conveyancer. Do I opt for an internet conveyancer as opposed to a high street Hersham conveyancing solicitor?
Existing third party relationships is an important consideration when choosing conveyancing lawyers. Hersham conveyancers often have long term relationships with mortgage brokers and property, local authorities, surveyors and other conveyancing firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time. Having a wealth of intelligence of the local area is an advantage.
I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Hersham but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Hersham and has limited impact for conveyancing in Hersham 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 post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.
I completed on my apartment on 7 February and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Hersham expressed confidence that it will be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in Hersham uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Hersham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Hersham is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Hersham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hersham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hersham may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
