I own a freehold house in Pinner Green but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Pinner Green and has limited impact for conveyancing in Pinner Green 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 establishment of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.
I am downsizing from our home in Pinner Green and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Pinner Green conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Pinner Green. Having lived in Pinner Green for six years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 sickness)
