I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Eccleshall but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Eccleshall and has limited impact for conveyancing in Eccleshall 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be extinguished.

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Lloyds your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Lloyds where a lease does not comply with these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Eccleshall.

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Eccleshall completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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.
