I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Slough yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Slough and has limited impact for conveyancing in Slough 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Slough. I I am struggling to find out whether they are on the Halifax conveyancing panel. Can you assist?
The first thing you should do is contact your lawyer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively please call Halifax who may be able to help.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we use the agent's preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Slough
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Slough conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
At what stage do I pay the Stamp Duty Land Tax chargeable for my Slough house purchase?
Most lawyers will fill out a Land Transaction Return Form for you during your Slough purchase transaction for you to sign. After completion your lawyer will submit your STL application to the Inland Revenue and - as long as they have the money - settle any land tax liability on your behalf.
