I purchased a freehold residence in Moulton but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Moulton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Moulton 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 generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

We previously chose conveyancers based in Moulton on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further amount for the legal aspects of the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Leeds Building Society?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Leeds Building Society but by your Moulton conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Yorkshire BS. Is it usual for Yorkshire BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Moulton is approved on their conveyancing panel? Yorkshire BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
Am I better off to use a Moulton conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can handle the conveyancing however her office is 300kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local Moulton conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to sign paperwork, deliver your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Moulton know how is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust instructed your friend and they were content that should outweigh using an unknown Moulton conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
