I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Oxton but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Oxton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Oxton 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 establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
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 dispensed with completely.

I currently have a mortgage with Santander for my property in Oxton. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Santander?
Your original mortgage agreement with Santander will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Santander’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Santander directly. You need not do this via a Santander conveyancing panel solicitor.

Me and my fiance are about to complete on the purchase a house in Oxton but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed recompense from the seller of £3k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however the bank will not permit this. Why were they involved?
Your conveyancing practitioner being on a lender approved list is required to disclose to the mortgage company of any variations to the sale amount. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to your mortgage company then they would have to discontinue representing you and the mortgage company.
