I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Mobberley but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Mobberley and has limited impact for conveyancing in Mobberley 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh 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 will be extinguished.

I'm spending time looking at apartments in Mobberley and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it wise to have my property lawyer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Bank of Ireland.
It would be advisable to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. As you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Mobberley agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Mobberley. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with TSB going?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Mobberley conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the TSB conveyancing panel. As to the next phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of buyers will apply for a home loan with TSB and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to press on with searches.
I am purchasing a new build house in Mobberley benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my lawyer about this deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
