My Caistor solicitor has spotted an inconsistency when comparing the information in the home valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he needs to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach legitimate?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
I purchased a freehold residence in Caistor but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Caistor and has limited impact for conveyancing in Caistor 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 fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous 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.

My mother purchased her house in Caistor ten years ago. She has been married, widowed and has recently remarried. She now intends to dispose of the Caistor property. I suspect that she will simply be requested to supply copies of her marriage papers to the property lawyer but she is anxious it could frustrate the sale of the property. Should she instruct a lawyer to update the land title details for the property?
You are not required to update the title for the property providing you have the evidence needed to demonstrate how the change of name occurred.
Any purchaser’s conveyancing practitioner should check the land registry information and request evidence to prove the change of name for instance marriage certificates.
