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

It is rare for properties in Droylsden and has limited impact for conveyancing in Droylsden 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 creation of new rentcharges post 1977.

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

I am intent on selling our house in Droylsden and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Droylsden. We have lived in Droylsden for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with 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)

How does conveyancing in Droylsden differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Droylsden contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Droylsden typically acquire the site, 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 property lawyers 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 Droylsden or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Droylsden I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Droylsden in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer 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 start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
