I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Tadcaster yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Tadcaster and has limited impact for conveyancing in Tadcaster 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 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 one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
I am planning to move house in June. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Tadcaster. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this should only take place after the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Tadcaster or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Tadcaster.
My wife and I are spending time viewing apartments in Tadcaster and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner in place at this point? I will be getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society.
It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Tadcaster solicitor - who is on the RBS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Tadcaster surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Tadcaster is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Tadcaster are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Tadcaster you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tadcaster may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
