Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Mill Hill

My Mill Hill conveyancer has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the information in the valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he is duty bound to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s course or action right?

Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I am the registered owner of a freehold premises in Mill Hill but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Mill Hill and has limited impact for conveyancing in Mill Hill 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 establishment of new 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 in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

I'm the single recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Mill Hill. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this clause is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
