I am under pressure from the executor of a property in Thurmaston to exchange within four weeks. What can I do to expedite matters?
In a situation where you are under time constraints for your conveyancing we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will make use of local contacts and insight. It is even conceivable that they may have conducted previoushouses in the same road. Therefore consider using a Thurmaston conveyancing lawyer. In addition, ensure that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is said that 18% of Thurmaston conveyancing deals are suspended or derailed after discovering a buyer’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being held up by as much as 21 days. It is said that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home sales annually. Almost all Thurmaston conveyancing firms can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.
I purchased a freehold premises in Thurmaston but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Thurmaston and has limited impact for conveyancing in Thurmaston 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 establishment of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.
How does conveyancing in Thurmaston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Thurmaston approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Thurmaston usually buy 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 used to new build conveyancing in Thurmaston or who has acted in the same development.

I was pointed in your direction by a few selling agents in Thurmaston to select a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your lawyers over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to make any referral fee for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
