I purchased a freehold residence in Purfleet but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Purfleet and has limited impact for conveyancing in Purfleet 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 extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a garden flat in Purfleet. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Purfleet?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Purfleet. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Purfleet off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Principality. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on a flat in Purfleet accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Purfleet. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Santander going?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Purfleet conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Santander conveyancing panel. Concerning the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some buyers will apply for the mortgage with Santander and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their property lawyer to press on with searches.
About to purchase a new build flat in Purfleet. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Purfleet
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent advised that the owners will only move forward if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Purfleet
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Purfleet conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
