My Hethersett conveyancer has discovered an inconsistency when comparing the assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he is duty bound to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action correct?

Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Hethersett but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Hethersett and has limited impact for conveyancing in Hethersett 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 fresh 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 is to be dispensed with completely.
