Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Coleford

We are about to exchange buying a house in Coleford but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the seller in the sum of £2k taking the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract but Virgin Money will not agree to this. Why were they involved?

Your lawyer being on the Virgin Money approved list is obliged to disclose to Virgin Money of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your lawyer to report the price change to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Coleford.

I own a freehold house in Coleford yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Coleford and has limited impact for conveyancing in Coleford 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 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 after 2037 will be extinguished.
