Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Empingham

I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Santander. I would like to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Empingham. Does the Santander Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

My conveyancer has identified a defect with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Empingham. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner has advised that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?

Even though you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their provisions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the lender are the client. The appropriate lender provisions have to be complied with.

I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Empingham but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Empingham and has limited impact for conveyancing in Empingham 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.

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

How does conveyancing in Empingham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Empingham contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Empingham typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Empingham or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey done on a property in Empingham before appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may not grant a loan on this type of house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Empingham. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Empingham especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Empingham.
