Me and my wife are acquiring a flat in Marchington. My Conveyancer is not on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Can I still appoint my Marchington conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
One must use a property lawyer to complete the legal work required when you take out a mortgage to buy your property. The conveyancing practitioner will conduct all the appropriate investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in place. One can instruct a Marchington solicitor of your choice. Nevertheless, where the property lawyer appointed is not on the mortgage company solicitor panel additional costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not in the past sought membership they should take the chance to apply.
I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Marchington but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Marchington and has limited impact for conveyancing in Marchington 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 new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.
