I own a freehold property in Llanybydder but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Llanybydder and has limited impact for conveyancing in Llanybydder 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 establishment of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Llanybydder. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Llanybydder?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I have paid off my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Llanybydder property lawyer on the Lloyds panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Lloyds mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Lloyds mortgage from the register. Lloyds, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Lloyds has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Lloyds has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by UBS. Is it usual for UBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Llanybydder is approved on their conveyancing panel? UBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
