I purchased a freehold property in Shinfield yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Shinfield and has limited impact for conveyancing in Shinfield 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 post 1977.

Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Shinfield with a loan from Barclays . The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it may jeopardize my loan with Barclays . Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Shinfield is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Shinfield are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Shinfield you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shinfield may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Taking into account that I am about to spend £400,000 on a garden flat in Shinfield I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer regarding thehome move ahead of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
