I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Barlestone but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Barlestone and has limited impact for conveyancing in Barlestone 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 establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

I am due to move home in August. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Barlestone. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your estate agent however this can only happen when the vendors solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. After that you should tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Barlestone or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Barlestone.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Virgin Money. Is it usual for Virgin Money to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Barlestone is approved on their conveyancing panel? Virgin Money have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Barlestone 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be evidenced by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and obtain up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
