I am not in a position to travel far from Beckermet. Can you please explain the reason why all Beckermet solicitors aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?

Before the recession most banks displayed an attitude to risk which is different from today. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 carried out a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the solicitors on your panel. Consequently, banks have subsequently requiredmore data from law firms regarding their operations and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Hundreds of law practices have been excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the minimum amount of transactions the lenders required.

I own a freehold house in Beckermet but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Beckermet and has limited impact for conveyancing in Beckermet 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 many centuries, 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 post 2037 will be extinguished.
