Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Lound who completed the legal work 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from National Westminster Bank.

Our lawyer has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Lound. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?

Even though you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage.

I purchased a freehold house in Lound yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Lound and has limited impact for conveyancing in Lound 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 have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

I have been told that property searches are the primary cause of delay in Lound conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Lound.
