I am in need of a property lawyer. Should I go for for an online conveyancer as opposed to a family Shirenewton conveyancing solicitor?
In the main conveyancing solicitors in your area will benefit from excellent relationships with your local authority, which can help with the Shirenewton conveyancing searches that your conveyancer will require on your transaction. It can only assist if they have good connections with the Local Land Registry Office your area Shirenewton, other property lawyers in the neighbourhood and Shirenewton selling agents.
I purchased a freehold premises in Shirenewton yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Shirenewton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Shirenewton 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 generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.
We're in Shirenewton, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is HSBC , and our solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Shirenewton
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. 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.

I am an executor of my recently deceased aunt’s Will, with a bungalow in Shirenewton which will be sold. The house has never been registered at HMLR and I'm advised that many purchasers will insist that it is done before they'll move forward. What's the mechanism for this?
In the situation you refer to it seems advisable to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
