It’s unusual for properties in Wallingford and has limited impact for conveyancing in Wallingford 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.

I am buying a new build house in Wallingford benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Wallingford

We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Wallingford conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will provide their estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.

I purchased a house in Wallingford last 17/6/2024 and to date it is still not recorded with HM Land Registry. It was part of a new estate and my conveyancing practitioner told me that it may take twelve months to register. I have contacted the Land Registry directly and they say that the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. Should I be concerned?

Contact your conveyancer - Where you are unsatisfied with the responses, look up their firm’s complaints procedure and escalate your concerns to a Partner. Registrations for Wallingford conveyancing are not known to be significantly delayed.
