Me and my fiance are planning to buy a 1 bedroom apartment in Westbury Park with a mortgage. We have a Westbury Park lawyer, however the lender advise she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to appoint one of the mortgage company panel firms or retain our Westbury Park conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. This feels very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’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. Another option that might be available is for your Westbury Park conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

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

Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.

Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must have two or more partners.
