Recently asked questions about conveyancing in West Dean

We selected a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in West Dean recently. Upon checking the small print I noteI am liable for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to select a web based firm advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in West Dean?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to counteract those conveyances that do not go ahead. Please beware that such promotions rarely cover outlay by way of example West Dean conveyancing search costs.

I purchased a freehold premises in West Dean but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in West Dean and has limited impact for conveyancing in West Dean 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 date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges post 1977.

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 dispensed with completely.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to instruct a West Dean based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel lawyers should you take up the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the bank and check if they make available a cash alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near West Dean.
