I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Parbold yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Parbold and has limited impact for conveyancing in Parbold 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
Do I have to have a meeting at the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Parbold so that I can attend their offices when needed.

This means that they can undertake the legal work for your home move regardless of where you live in the country.

Your property lawyer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Parbold will on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of works or need the permission of another owner. Many additions need local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations.

You should check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I have been advised by my conveyancer that flying freehold insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Parbold?
The right level of flying freehold indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between and . Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
My partner and I are intent on selling our property in Parbold and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Parbold lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Parbold. Having lived in Parbold for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
