My wife and I are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Waddon with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Waddon conveyancer, but the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel solicitors or keep our Waddon conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We consider that this is unjust; are we not able to require that the mortgage company use our Waddon solicitor ?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Waddon conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Waddon but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Waddon and has limited impact for conveyancing in Waddon 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.
