I purchased a freehold house in North Acton but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in North Acton and has limited impact for conveyancing in North Acton 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 establishment of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.
My husband and I wish to acquire a purpose built flat in North Acton with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society.We have a North Acton conveyancing practitioner but Leeds Building Society advised that he's not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society
