I own a freehold house in Kinver but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Kinver and has limited impact for conveyancing in Kinver 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 generation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Kinver. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Kinver?

Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
My offer was accepted on an apartment in Kinver on 8/9/2025, valuation was booked five days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nationwide and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Are Nationwide entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Kinver took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 premises 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.
