We are due to exchange buying a house in Winchcombe but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the seller in the sum of £2k by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however Clydesdale will not permit this. Why were they notified?
The conveyancer being on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is obliged to advise Clydesdale of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the price change to Clydesdale then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Clydesdale and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Winchcombe.
I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Winchcombe but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Winchcombe and has limited impact for conveyancing in Winchcombe 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.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Winchcombe is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Winchcombe are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Winchcombe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
