Can conveyancing in Hanham to be concluded in 10 days?

In the event that you are under a tight deadline to complete we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will benefit local connections and intelligence. It is possible that they may have conducted previoushomes in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Hanham conveyancing solicitor. Second, check that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is claimed that nearly one in five of Hanham conveyancing deals are frustrated or derailed after discovering a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. This can often result in the transaction being delayed by as much as three weeks. It is believed that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home sales every year. Many Hanham conveyancing practices can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.

I purchased a freehold residence in Hanham yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Hanham and has limited impact for conveyancing in Hanham 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 generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Hanham or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Hanham.

I have paid off my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Hanham property lawyer on the Principality panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Principality mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by HSBC. Is it usual for HSBC to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Hanham is approved on their conveyancing panel? HSBC have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
