I purchased a freehold residence in Netherley but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Netherley and has limited impact for conveyancing in Netherley 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 post 1977.

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

four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Netherley took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

What makes your site different to other internet conveyancing solicitors when it comes to conveyancing in Netherley?

At this site get a conveyancing costs illustration via a Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer that has a full understanding of the issues of your conveyancing in Netherley. Unlike many estate agents and many comparison sites we do not have commission arrangements with solicitors. Many agents and online brokers 'recommend' the firm paying the most per referral, as opposed to the best value conveyancing in Netherley

We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the agent informed us that the seller will only issue a contract if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Netherley

It is improbable the owners are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Netherley conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.
