I can't travel far from Rawdon and Yeadon. What is the rationale as to why all Rawdon and Yeadon lawyers are not on all bank panels?
Before the recession most lenders exhibited an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into fraud which concluded: know the lawyers on your panel. Accordingly, banks have since looked to extract more data from law firms about their processes and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Hundreds of law practices have been excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible satisfy the criteria of volume of transactions the mortgage companies required.
My wife and I are due to exchange on the purchase of a house in Rawdon and Yeadon but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the owner of six thousand pounds in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but Coventry BS will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?
The conveyancing practitioner that is on a Coventry BS conveyancing panel is required to disclose to Coventry BS of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to report the reduction to Coventry BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Coventry BS and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon.
I am the registered owner of a freehold premises in Rawdon and Yeadon yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Rawdon and Yeadon and has limited impact for conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
