My wife and I are about to complete buying a property in Netherley but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the vendor in the sum of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but Nationwide are not allowing this. Why were they approached?
The lawyer that is on the Nationwide approved list is obliged to advise Nationwide of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to disclose the reduction to Nationwide then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nationwide and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Netherley.
I purchased a freehold premises in Netherley but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Netherley and has limited impact for conveyancing in Netherley 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company approved list, they must adhere to the CML Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
