I purchased a freehold residence in Horsham but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Horsham and has limited impact for conveyancing in Horsham 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 new 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 in 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

I am helping my step-mother sell her house in Horsham. Will the conveyancer order the energy assessment or it is for the seller to see to?

After the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was kept a required element of selling a property. An energy assessment must be to hand prior to the property being placed on the market. This is not something that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Horsham conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable local energy assessors

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Lloyds. Horsham conveyancing solicitors were selected. How long does it take for Lloyds to issue the offer to the conveyancer?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Lloyds conducted the valuation? Have you advised Lloyds as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Clydesdale. Is it usual for Clydesdale to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Horsham is approved on their conveyancing panel? Clydesdale have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

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 Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

4 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Horsham took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I am purchasing a new build house in Horsham with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

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.
