I purchased a freehold property in Trimdon yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Trimdon and has limited impact for conveyancing in Trimdon 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 creation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
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 dispensed with completely.

I am assisting my niece sell her flat in Trimdon. Will the solicitor arrange the energy assessment or it is for me to coordinate?
Following the demise of HIPs, EPC’s became a compulsory element of moving house. An energy assessment needs to be commissioned prior to the property being placed on the market. It is not something that conveyancers ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a Trimdon conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established local energy assessors
I am due to move house in March. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Trimdon. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the selling agent however this can only be done once the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. You can advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Trimdon or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Trimdon.
It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Trimdon bank branch on a couple of occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Trimdon conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancer is on the mortgage company panel, they must comply with the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I have recentlybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Trimdon for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

My fiance and I may need to let out our Trimdon garden flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Trimdon conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A lease governs the relationship between the landlord and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will say if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Trimdon do not prevent subletting altogether – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the property. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the sublease.
