I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Monkseaton yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Monkseaton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Monkseaton 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 generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
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 extinguished.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Monkseaton conveyancing lawyers have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Coventry BS?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Coventry BS done the survey? Have you advised Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
TSB have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a house in Monkseaton has been accepted, what are the next steps?
The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure the solicitors are on the lender’s panel). Call up TSB or the financial adviser and complete any outstanding documentation. TSB will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or vendor to schedule a time for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. TSB will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Monkseaton.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Monkseaton with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with Skipton Building Society. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
