I am acquiring a house for cash in South Ruislip. I have been living for the last 15 years in South Ruislip. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

If you not getting a home loan, then all but one or two of the South Ruislip conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are intend to dispose of the house one day, it could be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches contain.

I am the registered owner of a freehold property in South Ruislip yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in South Ruislip and has limited impact for conveyancing in South Ruislip 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 new rentcharges post 1977.

Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.

How does conveyancing in South Ruislip differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in South Ruislip contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in South Ruislip tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in South Ruislip or who has acted in the same development.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in South Ruislip?

Conveyancing - in South Ruislip or elsewhere - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re intending to buy and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the buying price down or asking the vendor to fix the problems prior to you move in.
