I own a freehold property in Brent Cross but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Brent Cross and has limited impact for conveyancing in Brent Cross 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 fresh 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 is to be dispensed with completely.

I am intent on selling our property in Brent Cross and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Brent Cross. Having lived in Brent Cross for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

The deeds to our property are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Brent Cross years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

Gone are the days when you need to hold title official documentation to establish that you own the land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
