We hired a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Old Swan last week. Reviewing the fine print I noteI am liable for charges even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I go with them or select a web based conveyancing brokerage promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Old Swan?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to neutralise those cases that do not go ahead. Dont forget that these arrangements generally do not cover outlay e.g. Old Swan conveyancing search fees.

I own a freehold residence in Old Swan yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Old Swan and has limited impact for conveyancing in Old Swan 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 from 1977 onwards.

Should one as executor remove a departed person's name from the title deeds for a property in Old Swan?

If a Old Swan property is jointly owned and one of the owners passes away, the name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to remove their name as when it comes to a sale you would simply be asked to evidence why the co proprietor is missing from the transfer, usually this is in the form of a grant of probate.

With the aim of making the sale conveyancing simpler in the future you may apply to have the deceased name erased from the title entries by submitting an application to the land registry with proof of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
