Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Markfield

I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Markfield but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Markfield and has limited impact for conveyancing in Markfield 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 post 1977.

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

I am helping my niece sell her flat in Markfield. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission an EPC or do I organise this?

Following the demise of HIPs, energy performance certificates was retained a mandatory element of selling a house. An EPC should be to hand before the property is advertised. This is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Markfield conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable local energy assessors

My wife and I are in the process of looking at houses in Markfield and I am about to put in an offer. Is it wise to have a lawyer on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a mortgage with RBS.

It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. As you are taking out a mortgage with RBS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Markfield building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Markfield conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company panel, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Markfield concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Markfield. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Markfield

    The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Markfield is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I am using a search engine for the term on line conveyancing in Markfield it reveals numerous conveyancersin the vicinity. With so much choice what is the best way to find the right conveyancer for me?
