We are about to complete buying a house in Ravenscourt Park but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract however UBS are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?
Your lawyer being on a UBS approved list is obliged to inform UBS of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the reduction to UBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, UBS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Ravenscourt Park.
I purchased a freehold premises in Ravenscourt Park yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Ravenscourt Park and has limited impact for conveyancing in Ravenscourt Park 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment 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 will be extinguished.

I had an offer accepted on a house in Ravenscourt Park on 17/2/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Kent Reliance and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Are Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
