Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Shoreditch

My husband and I are hoping to buy a 1 bedroom apartment in Shoreditch with a mortgage. We have a Shoreditch solicitor, however the mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to select one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or keep our Shoreditch conveyancer and pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. We regard this is unjust; are we not able to insist that the bank use our Shoreditch conveyancing practitioner ?

No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Shoreditch conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I am the registered owner of a freehold premises in Shoreditch but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Shoreditch and has limited impact for conveyancing in Shoreditch 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 generation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous 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.
