I own a freehold property in Cubitt Town yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Cubitt Town and has limited impact for conveyancing in Cubitt Town 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 creation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.

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

I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to use a local conveyancing solicitor in Cubitt Town?

You should check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel solicitors where you take up the "fee-free" deal. Call the lender and ask if they make available a monetary alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Cubitt Town.

I am being advised by my conveyancer that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Cubitt Town?

The appropriate level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Cubitt Town conveyancing solicitors have been selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Principality?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Principality conducted the survey? Have you advised Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, UBS are being problematic. The Cubitt Town solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Cubitt Town completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Cubitt Town ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor advised that some lenders will not issue a loan on a flying freehold house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can check with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Cubitt Town. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Cubitt Town especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Cubitt Town.
