I own a freehold residence in Poulton Le Fylde yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Poulton Le Fylde and has limited impact for conveyancing in Poulton Le Fylde 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 generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
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.
We are purchasing a property in Poulton Le Fylde. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to put money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?

I am assisting my aunt sell her house in Poulton Le Fylde. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
After the abolition of HIPs, EPC’s became a required element of moving house. An energy performance certificate should be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. It is not something that law firms normally arrange. If you are using a Poulton Le Fylde conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable local assessors
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Poulton Le Fylde conveyancing solicitors have been appointed. How long does it take for UBS to issue the offer to the lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have UBS completed the survey? Have you advised UBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the UBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
We are planning on selling our house in Poulton Le Fylde and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Poulton Le Fylde conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Poulton Le Fylde. Having lived in Poulton Le Fylde for six years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Poulton Le Fylde?

The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
