I own a freehold residence in Appleton but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Appleton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Appleton 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

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

About to purchase a new build apartment in Appleton. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Appleton

    Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. 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. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Appleton in advance of instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders may not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.

Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Given that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a garden flat in Appleton I wish to talk to a lawyer regarding thehome move prior to appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

We could not agree more - we would be delighted to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the solicitor who will be doing your conveyancing in Appleton.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important person, not a case reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Appleton should be the figure that you are charged.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Appleton. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently received a quarterly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the service charge as normal as all ground rent and maintenance payments should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

I own a garden flat in Appleton, conveyancing was carried out in 2009. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Appleton with an extended lease are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease runs out on 21st October 2079

With 53 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £27,600 and £31,800 as well as professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
