Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Johnstown

I decided to go with a Johnstown based lawyer for our conveyancing in Johnstown recently. After carefully reading the official terms of business I seewe are liable for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and use a web based conveyancing brokerage promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Johnstown?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to cover those conveyances that do not go ahead. Also remember that these deals generally do not protect you from expenditure for instance Johnstown conveyancing search costs.

I purchased a freehold premises in Johnstown but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

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

Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
