Having been told to check out your web site we were about to go ahead with a conveyancing solicitor in Thorne recommended by you but stumbled across alternative costs illustrations on the internet appear less expensive – why is this?
One can find plenty of conveyancers offering at first sight what seems to be very low prices. You should give due consideration as to how much you respect your own move to you are willing to take 'cheap' risks with regard to the quality of the legal work. Some hide fees deep into the terms of engagement. The solicitors that we list for conveyancing in Thorne neverbehave this way.
I own a freehold house in Thorne but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Thorne and has limited impact for conveyancing in Thorne 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 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 will be dispensed with completely.

I have justdiscovered that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Thorne for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Thorne conveyancing specialists.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Thorne I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Thorne in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
I am looking at a couple of apartments in Thorne both have about fifty years unexpired on the lease term. should I be concerned?
There are plenty of short leases in Thorne. The lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.
