I purchased a freehold house in Pinner Green yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Pinner Green and has limited impact for conveyancing in Pinner Green 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 establishment 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 will be dispensed with completely.
My husband and I intend to purchase a purpose built flat in Pinner Green with a homeloan from HSBC Bank.We have a Pinner Green conveyancing solicitor but HSBC Bank advised that her practice is not listed on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a HSBC Bank panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that HSBC Bank use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers needs to be on the HSBC Bank conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for HSBC Bank
