As unjust as it may appear for lenders to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or lawyer’s viewpoint, the flip side is that lending institutions are becoming ever more anxious and regard it necessary to defend themselves from mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern lenders are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a manageable size.

I purchased a freehold premises in Fowey but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Fowey and has limited impact for conveyancing in Fowey 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 generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
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.
