I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Seaburn but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Seaburn and has limited impact for conveyancing in Seaburn 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 post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Seaburn. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society going?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Seaburn conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers will apply for a home loan with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to move forward with searches.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Seaburn 10 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware exactly where to locate all the appropriate documentation so you can purchase or dispose of your property without a hitch.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Seaburn I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Seaburn in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
