I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Darwen but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Darwen and has limited impact for conveyancing in Darwen 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
How does conveyancing in Darwen differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Darwen approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Darwen usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Darwen or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Darwen is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Darwen are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Darwen you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Darwen may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we use their chosen lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Darwen
It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Darwen conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.
