Having been suggested to visit your company we were about to use a conveyancing solicitor in Sneinton listed using your search tool but have come across alternative quotes on the internet appear cheaper – how come?
There are plenty of firms advertising supposedly £99 conveyancing, unfortunately it’s common in such cases for supplementalfees end up with the completion bill mounting up beyond all recognition.

My wife and I intend to remortgage our apartment in Sneinton with Aldermore. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the apartment is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Aldermore conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Aldermore. This is solely used to protect Aldermore if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Aldermore had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
I own a freehold residence in Sneinton but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Sneinton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Sneinton 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 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.
We are due to move home in May. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Sneinton. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your property agent however this should only happen after the vendors solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Sneinton or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Sneinton.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Sneinton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender HSBC be concerned?
As your lender is HSBC your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to HSBC where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Sneinton.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Nottingham. I assume I don't need a Sneinton solicitor on the Nottingham panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Nottingham mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nottingham mortgage from the register. Nottingham, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Nottingham has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nottingham has instructed the Land Registry to do so
