I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Heston yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Heston and has limited impact for conveyancing in Heston 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.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Heston. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office.

If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Heston accepted, the owners do however have an associated purchase. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Heston. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Lloyds?

It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Heston conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Lloyds approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers would apply for a home loan with Lloyds and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Heston.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for delay in Heston conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

How does conveyancing in Heston differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Heston approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Heston 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 property lawyers 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 Heston or who has acted in the same development.
