I purchased a freehold property in Llanidloes but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Llanidloes and has limited impact for conveyancing in Llanidloes 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 generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Llanidloes. I I am struggling to find out if they are accepted on the approved list of lawyers. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

The first thing you should do is e-mail the solicitor and ask them whether they can act for the bank. Alternatively you should call who may be able to help.

We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent informed us that the owners will only issue a contract if we use the agent's recommended conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Llanidloes

It is improbable the owners are behind this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Llanidloes conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.

We own a leasehold flat in Llanidloes. Conveyancing was finished in last year. I have heard that I should not let the the remaining lease term to get too low. Is this right?

Llanidloes domestic long term leases are for a set period - usually 99 years when they are first granted. However many appartments in Llanidloes were built or converted in the 60’s and so such leases now have under 80 years left to run. This may seem like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies tend to need leases to have a minimum of seventy five years unexpired to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing 75 years. To maximise your property value you should be considering whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Please note that there are significant benefits to doing so before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease is below 80 years the premium to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
