I am the registered owner of a freehold premises in Pembrokeshire yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Pembrokeshire and has limited impact for conveyancing in Pembrokeshire 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 post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.
Just acquired a detached house in Pembrokeshire , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Pembrokeshire conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Pembrokeshire registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the property thus registration formalities is not typically top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Pembrokeshire differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Pembrokeshire contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Pembrokeshire usually buy the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Pembrokeshire or who has acted in the same development.
We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the agent told us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Pembrokeshire
It is improbable the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Pembrokeshire conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by head office.
