I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Quedgeley yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Quedgeley and has limited impact for conveyancing in Quedgeley 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 creation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Old 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 extinguished.
I'm the only recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Quedgeley. The Quedgeley property was put into my name in March. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
is it true that all Quedgeley solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Quedgeley. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Principality?
Your original mortgage agreement with Principality will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Principality will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. You need not do this via a Principality conveyancing panel solicitor.
I have been told that property searches are the main cause of hinderance in Quedgeley conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Quedgeley.
