I own a freehold house in Treforest but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Treforest and has limited impact for conveyancing in Treforest 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 fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
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 extinguished.
My wife and I are buying a apartment in Treforest. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we will need to put money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Treforest. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Treforest?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Treforest. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I am expecting a OIP from Co-operative this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Treforest solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Treforest solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.
My wife and I are selling our home in Treforest and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Treforest. Having lived in Treforest for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Treforest. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Treforest
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Treforest is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Treforest are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Treforest you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Treforest may ascertain 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 property.
