I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in South Normanton but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in South Normanton and has limited impact for conveyancing in South Normanton 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 creation of new 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.
Me and my partner are purchasing a property in South Normanton. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we will need to put our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?

I am aiming to move property in October. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in South Normanton. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the estate agent but this can only take place when the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. After that you can tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in South Normanton or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in South Normanton.
We had appointed solicitors locally in South Normanton on the Barclays solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for handling the Barclays mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Barclays?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Barclays but by your South Normanton lawyer. Some firms on the Barclays panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
The deeds to my property are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in South Normanton 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor should be aware precisely where to locate all the appropriate paperwork so you can buy or dispose of your property without a hitch. Where copies are not available, your conveyancer can put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your property.
I have been pointed in your direction by a number of selling agents in South Normanton to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your services over a competitor’s?
We don’t give any commission for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I was told by my bank that their panel conveyancers work on no sale no fee basis for conveyancing in South Normanton. My purchase aborted and now the lawyers have requested search fees! They say the fees are independent!

We should make it clear that this is not to be regarded as an insurance scheme. you will still be expected to cover any disbursements that your solicitor has incurred for you for example South Normanton local authority searches
