Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Castleton

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

It’s unusual for properties in Castleton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Castleton 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 new rentcharges post 1977.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

We wanted to use a property lawyer in Castleton for our home move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage lenders Britannia won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?

A bank will direct that an approved conveyancer act for it. You would be liable to meet the cost of this. Do use our search facility to find a solicitor to carry conveyancing in Castleton on the Britannia member panel.

Can I be sure that the Castleton conveyancing solicitor on the UBS panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Castleton getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.

I am expecting a OIP from UBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any Castleton solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Castleton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.

I have paid off my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Castleton property lawyer on the Barclays panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Barclays mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Barclays mortgage has been paid off.

I need some fast conveyancing in Castleton as I have an ultimatum to sign on the dotted line inside one month. A mortgage is not required. Is it possible to escape the need for conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Castleton the following are instances of what can show up and therefore affect future saleability: Enforcement Notices, Overdue Charges, Overdue Grants, Road Schemes,...
