Me and my partner are about to exchange buying a property in Bampton but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of six thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet Kent Reliance are not allowing this. Why were they approached?
The lawyer being on a Kent Reliance approved list is required to advise Kent Reliance of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to report the reduction to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Bampton.
I own a freehold premises in Bampton but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Bampton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Bampton 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.
It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Bampton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 property 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.
