I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Lyndhurst but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Lyndhurst and has limited impact for conveyancing in Lyndhurst 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
I bought my apartment on 2 April and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Lyndhurst advises it will be dealt with inside ten days. Are properties in Lyndhurst particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Lyndhurst is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any 3rd parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the buyer is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Lyndhurst differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Lyndhurst come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in Lyndhurst typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Lyndhurst or who has acted in the same development.
