I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Harringay but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Harringay and has limited impact for conveyancing in Harringay 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 establishment of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.
I am planning on selling our house in Harringay and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Harringay lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Harringay. Having lived in Harringay for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
