I own a freehold property in Heanor but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Heanor and has limited impact for conveyancing in Heanor 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment 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 post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Heanor , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Heanor conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in Heanor is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any interested persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not typically primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
