I own a freehold residence in Aintree but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Aintree and has limited impact for conveyancing in Aintree 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 fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be extinguished.
What will a local search reveal concerning the house we're buying in Aintree?
Aintree conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as Searches UK The local search is essential in every Aintree conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any nasty surprises after you move into your new home. The search should provide information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic sections.
The deeds to our home can not be found. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Aintree 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
You no longer need to hold title original deeds to evidence that you are the registered proprietor of land or premises, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Aintree I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Aintree for this price, 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. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Aintree. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Aintree - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
