I purchased a freehold residence in Molesey but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Molesey and has limited impact for conveyancing in Molesey 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 post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

Me and my partner have just had an offer agreed on a flat and had meeting on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to choosing a conveyancer that unless they are on their approved list of conveyancers then we will incur a further charge of £250+. This is because they would then have to appoint a solicitor to act on their behalf in addition to the one we choose to act on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their fees. I have asked HSBC to provide me with a list so I can seek quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual lawyer to see if they are on the panel. Is their an easier way of going about this?
Ask HSBC what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC before. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Alternatively please make use of our search tool and we may be able to identify a conveyancing practitioner in Molesey on the panel for HSBC.
