I purchased a freehold house in Porthleven yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Porthleven and has limited impact for conveyancing in Porthleven 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 fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Porthleven. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Porthleven?

I can not fathom if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Porthleven bank branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Porthleven conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The conveyancer has to follow the CML Handbook section two specifications for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Porthleven. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £200. A few days later, the lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Coventry BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Two months into a sale of a flat in Porthleven. Conveyancing solicitors are doing their job but we have been asked to pay a fortune by the freeholder. To date we have paid £275 for a leasehold management information and then a further £118 for supplemental questions raised by the buyers lawyer.
Neither you or your solicitor will have any sway over the extent of the charges for this information but the average fee for the information for Porthleven leasehold premises is £350.

The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions although many will agree to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved.
