Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Rainhill

We were just about to sign contracts for a property in Rainhill. We have hit a stumbling block. Our loan offer with Barnsley Building Society runs out on 24/6/2025 but the vendors are putting forward a completion date of 26/6/2025. Can one prolong the mortgage expiry date?

The best person to address this concern is your conveyancer who is in a position to determine whether he or she is better off negotiating with the lender, vendor’s representatives, property agents or indeed all parties given the history of your house move as of today.

I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Rainhill yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Rainhill and has limited impact for conveyancing in Rainhill 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 have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

I have been told that property searches are a common reason for stalling in Rainhill house deals. Is there any truth in this?

Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Rainhill.
