Can you help? My Horbury solicitor is assuring me that he has toorder Horbury conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Santanderconveyancing panel. Do I not have a choice here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a home loan with a bank your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Horbury conveyancing searches.
I purchased a freehold residence in Horbury but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Horbury and has limited impact for conveyancing in Horbury 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 generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.
