I am the registered owner of a freehold premises in Arnold yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Arnold and has limited impact for conveyancing in Arnold 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 establishment of new rentcharges post 1977.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

How does conveyancing in Arnold differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Arnold contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Arnold typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Arnold or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Arnold I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Arnold in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
