I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Upton Upon Severn but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Upton Upon Severn and has limited impact for conveyancing in Upton Upon Severn 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 generation of new rentcharges post 1977.

About to purchase apartment in Upton Upon Severn. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Upton Upon Severn lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
We are downsizing from our house in Upton Upon Severn and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Upton Upon Severn conveyancer would know that there is no such problem.

We have lived in Upton Upon Severn for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
four months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Upton Upon Severn completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
