I purchased a freehold house in Penkridge but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Penkridge and has limited impact for conveyancing in Penkridge 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.
We intend to purchase a newbuild flat in Penkridge with a loan from Birmingham Midshires.We use our Penkridge conveyancing solicitor but Birmingham Midshires informed us she’s not listed on their approved list of firms. It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Birmingham Midshires panel firm or retain our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Birmingham Midshires use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Birmingham Midshires solicitor panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Birmingham Midshires
How does conveyancing in Penkridge differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Penkridge contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Penkridge usually buy the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Penkridge or who has acted in the same development.
