Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hither Green

I am buying a property mortgage free in Hither Green. I have lived for the previous 15 years in Hither Green. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a home loan, then all but one or two of the Hither Green conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to take that path of advice. One thing to take into account; if you are intend to sell the house in the future, it will likely be be of interest to your future buyer what the searches determine. On occasion houses with no practical issues can still reveal negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Hither Green will be able to give you some practical advice in this regard.

I own a freehold residence in Hither Green but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Hither Green and has limited impact for conveyancing in Hither Green 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 redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Hither Green off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Barclays. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Nottingham are being problematic. The Hither Green solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Nottingham are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

three months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Hither Green concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

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 property 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.
