Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Rawcliffe

My friend's sister is a conveyancer. I anticipate that I will receive friends and family pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what level of costs should I be paying for conveyancing in Rawcliffe?

You should contrast pricing. Make use of our comparison tool on this site. You will notice that charges may contrast greatly but the service one can expect differ between solicitors as is true with most professions.

I purchased a freehold house in Rawcliffe but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Rawcliffe and has limited impact for conveyancing in Rawcliffe 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 establishment of new rentcharges post 1977.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.

What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Rawcliffe

There are two types of lawyers who can perform conveyancing in Rawcliffe namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. The two can handle conveyancing services that required to complete the sale or acquisition of property. They are both obliged to perform Rawcliffe conveyancing to the same quality and guidelines so you may be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be properly carried out and that the necessary steps should be suitably followed.

My offer was accepted on an apartment in Rawcliffe on 16/6/2026, valuation was booked 2 days later, all came back fine. Solicitor retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to RBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Are RBS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I have instructed a Rawcliffe conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Rawcliffe surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Rawcliffe I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Rawcliffe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
