In the event thatI were to acquire a freehold propertyin Mudeford mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Mudeford?
Any savings you would gain will be isolated to the Mudeford conveyancing searches. A lawyer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with the sellers property lawyer, stamp duty return, register the title etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it won't be a lot.
I own a freehold residence in Mudeford but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Mudeford and has limited impact for conveyancing in Mudeford 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 creation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old 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 extinguished.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Mudeford. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Santander have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Santander your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Santander where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Mudeford.
Will our solicitor be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Mudeford.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Mudeford. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Mudeford, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Mudeford. The conventional set of information supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the seller to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer could bring a legal claim for losses stemming from an misleading reply. A buyer’s solicitors should also commission an enviro search. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be initiated.
