Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Burslem

We are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Burslem and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?

Your property lawyer is legally required to clarify with the bank to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Burslem yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Burslem and has limited impact for conveyancing in Burslem 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 creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

I am selling my house in Burslem. Does my conveyancing practitioner need to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.

What does a local search reveal about the house my wife and I purchasing in Burslem?

Burslem conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search organisations such as Searches UK The local search plays an important part in many a Burslem conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any unpleasant surprises after you move into your property.

As far as conveyancing in Burslem is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration occurs after the buyer is living at the property so post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
