Can the conveyancing lawyers Indexed on your site conduct auction conveyancing in Telford?

We know of a few auction lawyers we can connect you with those conducting auction conveyancing. Telford is just one of hundreds of areas of where our lawyers have offices.

I own a freehold residence in Telford but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Telford and has limited impact for conveyancing in Telford 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 generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.

I am assisting my sister sell her house in Telford. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy assessment or it is for the owner to see to?

After the abolition of HIPs, EPC’s became a compulsory element of moving house. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. This is not something that conveyancers normally arrange. Where you are using a Telford conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable local energy assessors

I am due to move house in May. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Telford. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your page.

On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the estate agent however this can only occur once the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you can inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Telford or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Telford.

When it comes to conveyancing in Telford obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Telford ahead of instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some banks tend not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Telford.
