I purchased a freehold house in Woolacombe yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Woolacombe and has limited impact for conveyancing in Woolacombe 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 creation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.
My husband and I intend to purchase a 2 bedroom apartment in Woolacombe with a loan from Clydesdale.We use our Woolacombe conveyancing practitioner but Clydesdale informed us he's not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a Clydesdale panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a Clydesdale panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Clydesdale approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Clydesdale
I am planning to move property in April. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Woolacombe. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the selling agent but this can only occur when the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Woolacombe or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Woolacombe.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Woolacombe. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Yorkshire BS be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Yorkshire BS your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Woolacombe.
I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Woolacombe bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Woolacombe conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the conveyancer is on the lender approved list, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Woolacombe completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
