Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gwernaffield

I own a freehold house in Gwernaffield but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?

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

Old 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 dispensed with completely.

I am refinancing my property in Gwernaffield, does my lawyer have to be on the Coventry BS Conveyancing panel?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Coventry BS will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

My lawyer has informed me that breach of easement insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Gwernaffield?

The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from UBS as we want to conduct alterations to our property in Gwernaffield. Do we need to appoint a local Gwernaffield solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

UBS do not ordinarily instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the UBS list.

Our offer on a property in Gwernaffield has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Gwernaffield. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS going?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Gwernaffield conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of buyers will apply for a home loan with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Gwernaffield.

    Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please supply a car parking plan.
