I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Lakenheath but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Lakenheath and has limited impact for conveyancing in Lakenheath 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 extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Lakenheath
There are two types of lawyers who can carry out conveyancing in Lakenheath namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. The two can administer the legal services that you need to complete the disposal or acquisition of property. Both are duty bound to handle Lakenheath conveyancing on similar quality and guidelines so you may be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be properly conducted and that the requisite steps should be accurately taken.
I am planning to move property in June. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Lakenheath. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across your website.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the property agent however this should only be done after the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. You should tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Lakenheath or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Lakenheath.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. Lakenheath conveyancing lawyers were chosen. How long does it take for Skipton to issue the offer to the lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Skipton completed the valuation? Have you advised Skipton as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Skipton conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
We are downsizing from our property in Lakenheath and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Lakenheath lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Lakenheath. We have lived in Lakenheath for many years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

My mum and dad cant seem to find their Lakenheath land registry title on the site. They have a vague recollection back in the 60’s when they acquired the house there were complications with Lakenheath not being recognised in some systems.
Nearly all residences in Lakenheath should show up. Have you attempted a search to just the postcode. Normally it should mention all the properties inside the postcode. Where recorded it will be there with a title number. If they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The property may still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title papers which could be with your parent’s bank.
