I purchased a freehold residence in Sandiacre but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Sandiacre and has limited impact for conveyancing in Sandiacre 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 generation of fresh 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 is to be dispensed with completely.
I am due to move home in July. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Sandiacre. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent however this can only happen after the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. You will need to inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Sandiacre or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Sandiacre.
We are getting the release of further funds on our mortgage from Barclays as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Sandiacre. Are we obliged to appoint a local Sandiacre solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Barclays don't usually instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Barclays panel.
Our offer on a detached house in Sandiacre has been accepted, the sellers do however have an associated purchase. The sellers have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Sandiacre. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Virgin Money going?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Sandiacre conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your property lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Concerning the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of home buyers will apply for a home loan with Virgin Money and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to move forward with searches.
