I am due to complete buying a property in Rawtenstall but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the owner in the sum of £3k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Virgin Money are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?
Any property lawyer that is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Virgin Money of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to report the price change to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Rawtenstall.
I purchased a freehold house in Rawtenstall but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Rawtenstall and has limited impact for conveyancing in Rawtenstall 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 generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

You have 67 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £10,500 and £12,000 plus legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
