My husband and I are purchasing an apartment in Tottenham Green. My lawyer is not on the bank approved panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Tottenham Green conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
One must have a conveyancing practitioner to complete the legal work required if you take out a loan to buy your property. They will carry out all the relevant legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You may appoint a Tottenham Green property lawyer of your choice. However, if the lawyer selected is not a member of the mortgage company approved list further costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so where your lawyer has not in the past sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
I own a freehold house in Tottenham Green but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Tottenham Green and has limited impact for conveyancing in Tottenham Green 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 new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.
What happens if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Nottingham Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Tottenham Green?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
I have recentlybecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Tottenham Green for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Tottenham Green conveyancing specialists.
