It’s unusual for properties in Wellingborough and has limited impact for conveyancing in Wellingborough 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 creation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Wellingborough conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Coventry BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Coventry BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Wellingborough surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS started?

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Wellingborough conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of buyers would apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in Wellingborough.
