I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to be out of my let out flat in Ingatestone by 12/3/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Can I complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
The normal practice is not to serve notice for your tenancy unless you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, speak to your conveyancer and request that they cajole the other solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will aim towards
I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Ingatestone but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Ingatestone and has limited impact for conveyancing in Ingatestone 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.
I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to appoint a Ingatestone based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers if you want the "fee-free" offer. Call the lender and see if they offer you a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies 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 Ingatestone.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Ingatestone is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Ingatestone are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ingatestone you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ingatestone may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Ingatestone
It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Ingatestone conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
