My partner’s uncle is a property lawyer. I anticipate that I will be offered mate’s fee for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Wilsden?
It’s wise to look for multiple conveyancing estimates. Do use our search tool on this site. You will notice that quotes will vary but the service one can expect differ between property lawyers as is the case with the vast majority of professional services.
I purchased a freehold property in Wilsden but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Wilsden and has limited impact for conveyancing in Wilsden 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 generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.
We wanted to use a property lawyer in Wilsden for our house move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Barnsley Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?

I know that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require chancel insurance when acquiring a house in Wilsden? or I am told that there is an ancient law that could mean that owners of property living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards maintenance to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this relevant for conveyancing in Wilsden?
Unless a prior purchase of the property completed after 12 October 2013 you may expect conveyancing practitioners delivering conveyancing in Wilsden to continue to recommend a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
My brother has encouraged me to instruct his conveyancers in Wilsden. Do I follow his guidance?

We are in the throes of a leasehold sale of a flat in Wilsden. Conveyancing lawyers are doing their job but we are being charged a fortune by the managing agents. So far we have issued a cheque for £295.50 for a leasehold management information and then a further £118 for supplemental queries supplied by the buyers solicitor.
Neither you or your solicitor will have any sway over the extent of the charges for this information however the average fee for the information for Wilsden leasehold property is £350. When it comes to Wilsden conveyancing sales it is conventional for the vendor to pay for these charges. The freeholder or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will agree to do so - albeit often at high prices out of proportion to the work involved. Regretfully there is no law that requires set fees for administrative tasks. Nor is there any statutory time limit by which they are required to issue answers.
