I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Polperro yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Polperro and has limited impact for conveyancing in Polperro 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of new 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 is to be dispensed with completely.

You will need to appoint Polperro solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and through the process.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Polperro agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Polperro. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with ?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Polperro conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your is on the approved list. As to the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their to press on with searches.
