I am the registered owner of a freehold property in New Invention but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in New Invention and has limited impact for conveyancing in New Invention 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 creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
We are purchasing a flat in New Invention. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On the day of competition we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
We are planning to move home in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in New Invention. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the property agent but this can only occur after the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. You should inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in New Invention or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in New Invention.
We had selected conveyancers locally in New Invention on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental fee for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Clydesdale but by your New Invention conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Clydesdale panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in New Invention 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be recorded by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and obtain up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.
I am buying my first flat in New Invention benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this extras as it may impact my loan with Barnsley Building Society. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in New Invention and how can you help?
The 1954 Act gives protection to business tenants, granting the a statutory right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
