I instructed a high street firm for our conveyancing in Whimple today. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions I seewe are responsible for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and appoint an on-line conveyancing company promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Whimple?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to cover the transactions that abort. You should be mindful that such arrangements tend not to cover outlay such your Whimple conveyancing search costs.
I am the registered owner of a freehold premises in Whimple but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Whimple and has limited impact for conveyancing in Whimple 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 creation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be extinguished.

About to purchase maisonette in Whimple. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Whimple conveyancer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Whimple is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Whimple are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Whimple you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Whimple may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
