I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Belsize Park but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Belsize Park and has limited impact for conveyancing in Belsize Park 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 date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.
I'm the single recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Belsize Park. The Belsize Park property was put into my name in July. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in July. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. Most mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this provision is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
I currently have a mortgage with Co-operative for my property in Belsize Park. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Co-operative?
Co-operative must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Co-operative directly. You need not do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Belsize Park. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Belsize Park lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
I bought my flat on 12 May and my personal details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Belsize Park said it should be registered in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Belsize Park particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Belsize Park registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the property therefore registration formalities is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
