I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Pound Hill but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Pound Hill and has limited impact for conveyancing in Pound Hill 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 extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.
My Solicitor in Pound Hill is not on the Alliance & Leicester Approved Panel. Can I still retain my family solicitor even though they are excluded from the Alliance & Leicester panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your preferred Pound Hill lawyers but Alliance & Leicester will need to use a conveyancer on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the overall conveyancing charges as well as cause delays.
- Get an alternative practitioner to act in the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are on the Alliance & Leicester panel
I am purchasing my first flat in Pound Hill with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it could impact my mortgage with Bank of Scotland. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Pound Hill I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Pound Hill in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
As co-executor for the will of my grandmother I am selling a residence in Monmouth but live in Pound Hill. My solicitor (who is 235 miles from mehas requested that I execute a stat dec prior to the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Pound Hill who can attest this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are located in Pound Hill
