Please help. My Clitheroe lawyer is assuring me that he has toorder Clitheroe conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Santandersolicitor panel. Is this really necessary?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a mortgage company your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the UK Finance Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Clitheroe conveyancing searches.
I own a freehold house in Clitheroe but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Clitheroe and has limited impact for conveyancing in Clitheroe 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 generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be extinguished.

The current proprietors have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and has viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Clitheroe.

It is standard to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Clitheroe conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Concerning the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of purchasers will apply for a home loan with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the survey and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their solicitor to move forward with the conveyancing in Clitheroe.
