Recently asked questions about conveyancing in North Hykeham

I purchased a freehold property in North Hykeham but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in North Hykeham and has limited impact for conveyancing in North Hykeham 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 establishment of fresh rentcharges post 1977.

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

I am considering applying for a Clydesdale mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in North Hykeham with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Clydesdale ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, but Clydesdale would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

What does a local search reveal concerning the property my wife and I buying in North Hykeham?

North Hykeham conveyancing often commences with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as PSG The local search plays an important role in many a North Hykeham conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any unpleasant once you have moved into your new home. The search should supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject headings.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in North Hykeham ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in North Hykeham.

Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in North Hykeham?

    Answering conveyancing due diligence questions Where consent is required before sale in North Hykeham Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for North Hykeham leasehold property is £350. For North Hykeham conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved.
