My financial adviser requires my Walton on the Naze law firm’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have tried my local Walton on the Naze branch but they cant find it on their system.
Have you tried calling your Walton on the Naze property lawyer about this?. Most Walton on the Naze law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
I purchased a freehold premises in Walton on the Naze but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Walton on the Naze and has limited impact for conveyancing in Walton on the Naze 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh 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 in 2037 will be extinguished.
What happens if my solicitor is removed from the Bank of Ireland Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Walton on the Naze?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
