I own a freehold residence in Rusholm but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Rusholm and has limited impact for conveyancing in Rusholm 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation 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 after 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
I am considering applying for a Aldermore mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Rusholm with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Aldermore will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
What does a local search inform me concerning the property I am buying in Rusholm?
Rusholm conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations such as Onsearch The local search plays a central part in many a Rusholm conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any nasty surprises after you move into your new home. The search should supply data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic sections.
I am buying my first flat in Rusholm with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not inform my solicitor about this extras as it will jeopardize my loan with Accord Mortgages Ltd. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Rusholm I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Rusholm suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
