I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Halifax. I hope to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Werrington. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
AssumingI were to acquire a simple residential propertyin Werrington mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Werrington?
Any savings you would make would be isolated to the costs for searches. The conveyancing practitioner still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with the vendors property lawyer, SDLT return, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a mortgage but it will not be meaningful.
I purchased a freehold residence in Werrington but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Werrington and has limited impact for conveyancing in Werrington 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 post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Werrington and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act provides a safeguard to commercial lessees, granting the legal entitlement to apply to court for a new tenancy and continue in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

As co-executor for the will of my uncle I am disposing of a house in Newport but I am based in Werrington. My conveyancer (who is 300 kilometers awayrequires that I sign a stat dec before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Werrington to witness and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Werrington based
