Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Newton-le-Willows is not on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?

It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume 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 Newton-le-Willows conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I sincerely hope you can help me. My Newton-le-Willows solicitor is assuring me that he is legally obliged toconduct Newton-le-Willows conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. Is my solicitor correct?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a home loan with a mortgage company your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Newton-le-Willows conveyancing searches.

I purchased a freehold property in Newton-le-Willows yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Newton-le-Willows and has limited impact for conveyancing in Newton-le-Willows 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 fresh 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 in 2037 will be extinguished.
