I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Poynton but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Poynton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Poynton 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 establishment of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.
Various web forums that I have visited warn that are the main cause of hinderance in Poynton house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Poynton.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Poynton is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Poynton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Poynton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Poynton 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.
I'm converting the mortgage on my primary home to a BTL loan with Coventry Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on further house. The location we are talking about is Poynton. Will your lawyers be able to act for the two banks and tie in the transactions?
