IfI were to buy a simple residential housein Rayleigh mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Rayleigh?
The only saving you would achieve is the Rayleigh conveyancing searches. The conveyancer still got to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with your sellers conveyancer, stamp duty return, register the title etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a charge but it will not be meaningful.
I own a freehold premises in Rayleigh but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Rayleigh and has limited impact for conveyancing in Rayleigh 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 fresh 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 in 2037 is to be extinguished.

Me and my brother purchased a renovated Edwardian property in Rayleigh. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and HSBC Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Rayleigh and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Rayleigh is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Rayleigh are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rayleigh you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rayleigh may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
