I purchased a freehold premises in Symonds Yat yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Symonds Yat and has limited impact for conveyancing in Symonds Yat 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.

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.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Symonds Yat benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
