Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hexham

I own a freehold property in Hexham yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?

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

Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

We previously chose conveyancers with offices in Hexham on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate sum for handling the Aldermore mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Aldermore?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer can charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Hexham solicitor. Numerous firms on the Aldermore panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Hexham. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Skipton have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is Skipton your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Skipton where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Hexham.

I've read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Hexham solicitor - who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Lloyds will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Lloyds will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Hexham postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Hexham.

Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one cause of delay in Hexham house deals. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Hexham.
