Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Woolavington

I purchased a freehold property in Woolavington yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Woolavington and has limited impact for conveyancing in Woolavington 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 have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

I have been told that property searches are the primary cause of hinderance in Woolavington conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Woolavington.

I am purchasing my first flat in Woolavington benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Do I need to be suspicious about estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Woolavington conveyancing company?

As with many service providers, often referrals from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may put forward conveyancers to appoint. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there might be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that many mortgage providers operate an approved list of conveyancers you have to use for the lender aspect of your transaction.

I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Woolavington. I've discover a web site which seems to have the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all formalities done via phone that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Woolavington. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

It best that you discharge the invoice as normal given that all ground rent and maintenance invoices should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
