I own a freehold premises in Mottingham but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Mottingham and has limited impact for conveyancing in Mottingham 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Old 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 am buying a terraced house in Mottingham. Can I do my own conveyancing?

Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Mottingham you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Mottingham.

My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Mottingham. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?

Given that you are now for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you should appoint a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of urgency as you will have a tight a fixed date to complete the purchase. An auction property should have an associated legal set of papers. This will likely include most,if not all of the documents that your solicitor requires. If you have purchased leasehold premises the auction papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation specific to a leasehold property. You must hand this to the conveyancer working for you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that your finances are organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Mottingham. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Mottingham?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

We previously chose conveyancing lawyers based in Mottingham on the Nationwide solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further fee for dealing with the Nationwide mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Nationwide?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Nationwide but by your Mottingham property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Nationwide panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

I have todaybecome aware that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Mottingham for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Mottingham conveyancing specialists.

In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandfather I am selling a residence in Cardiff but live in Mottingham. My solicitor (approximately 300 miles from meneeds me to execute a stat dec prior to the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Mottingham to witness this legal document for me?

Technically speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are located in Mottingham
