I purchased a freehold property in Milnthorpe yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Milnthorpe and has limited impact for conveyancing in Milnthorpe 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 establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Old 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.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a ground floor flat in Milnthorpe. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Milnthorpe?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Milnthorpe. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.

I have been advised by my lawyer that lack of planning permission insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Milnthorpe conveyancing?

The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

We are hoping to buy a 2 bedroom housein Milnthorpe with a mortgage from a mortgage company. We wish to instruct our lawyer in Milnthorpe yet our bank says he's not on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our lender panel solicitors or keep our Milnthorpe solicitor and incur the extra costs for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Milnthorpe lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The lender home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Milnthorpe : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
