I purchased a freehold premises in Frogmore yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Frogmore and has limited impact for conveyancing in Frogmore 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 generation 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 in 2037 is to be extinguished.
My fiance and I are buying a 2 bedroom apartment in Frogmore with a residential mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We like our Frogmore conveyancing solicitor but Platform Home Loans Ltd informed us he's not on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd
