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

It is rare for properties in Flitwick and has limited impact for conveyancing in Flitwick 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased parent's Will, with a house in Flitwick which will be sold. The bungalow is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm told that some purchasers will insist that it is completed before they'll move forward. What's the mechanism for this?

In the circumstances that you have set out it seems prudent to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
