I am not in a position to travel far from Coxhoe. Is there a reason why all Coxhoe lawyers aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
As inequitable as it may seem for mortgage companies to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s standpoint, the flip side is that banks are becoming ever more anxious and regard it vital to protect them against illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern banks have consolidated their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.
I own a freehold residence in Coxhoe but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Coxhoe and has limited impact for conveyancing in Coxhoe 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 creation of new 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 after 2037 is to be extinguished.
