I own a freehold property in Stapleton yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Stapleton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Stapleton 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 creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous 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.

Mortgage Companies in the main restrict either the type or the amount of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that a firm must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the type of firm, a few lenders have limited the amount of firms they permit to represent them. Be aware that Britannia have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Britannia Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there remains mixed views about the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry indicate that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Stapleton only carry out one or two conveyances per annum.

My lawyer (who is 260 miles awayrequires that I sign a statutory declaration prior to the transaction finalising.

Technically speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Stapleton based

I am soon to complete buying a property in Stapleton but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the owner of £3k in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but my mortgage company will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?

Your lawyer that is on a bank conveyancing panel is obliged to inform the bank of any changes to the purchase figure. In the event that you were to refuse your conveyancer to disclose the reduction to your mortgage company then they would have no choice but to discontinue representing you and the mortgage company.
