Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Belgravia

I am nearing exchange of contracts for my ground floor flat in Belgravia and the estate agent has just called to say that the purchasers are appointing a new conveyancer. I am told that this is due to the fact that the bank will only work with solicitors on their conveyancing panel. Why would a leading mortgage company only deal with specific lawyers rather the firm that they want to appoint for their conveyancing in Belgravia ?

Lenders have always had an approved set of law firms they are willing to work with, but in the last few years big names such as Lloyds Banking Group, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for decades.

Banks point to the increase in fraud as the reason for the reduction – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to oversee. Banks tend not to disclose how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms do not even realise they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. The purchasers are unlikely to have any sway in the decision.

I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Belgravia but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Belgravia and has limited impact for conveyancing in Belgravia 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 fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be extinguished.

What does a local search inform me about the property my wife and I buying in Belgravia?
