I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must vacate my rented flat in Ingatestone by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
Generally one should not give notice for your letting until your lawyer suggests that you should. If you have not previously done so, speak to your lawyer and request that they apply pressure on the other lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work towards
I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Ingatestone but still invoiced for 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new 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 will be extinguished.
I need some quick conveyancing in Ingatestone as I have pressure to complete within 4 weeks. A mortgage is not required. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Ingatestone prior to appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not give a loan on such a property.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can check with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Ingatestone. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
Myself and my fiance have just had an offer agreed on a flat and had an appointment on Monday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to appointing a lawyer that if they are not on their approved list of solicitors then we will be subject to an a further fee of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to select a conveyancer to act on their behalf as well as the one we select for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have asked the Post Office to provide me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?
You can enquire of the Post Office what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for the Post Office historically. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with the Post Office. Alternatively please use our search facility and we should be able to identify a conveyancing practitioner in Ingatestone on the panel for the Post Office.
