Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Kilburn Park is not identified on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Kilburn Park conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
I purchased a freehold house in Kilburn Park yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Kilburn Park and has limited impact for conveyancing in Kilburn Park 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Old 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.
