I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Dymock but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Dymock and has limited impact for conveyancing in Dymock 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of new 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 extinguished.

I'm buying a new build house in Dymock with a loan from Chelsea Building Society. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Dymock

Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Dymock conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
