I own a freehold residence in Enderby yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Enderby and has limited impact for conveyancing in Enderby 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 establishment of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.
Me and my partner are buying a apartment in Enderby. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
Is it the case that all Enderby solicitor firms on the conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be regulated by the CLC.
We expect to receive a DIP from this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do recommend any Enderby solicitors on the conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Enderby solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and through the process.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Enderby. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Enderby - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
