I purchased a freehold premises in Ashford Kent yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Ashford Kent and has limited impact for conveyancing in Ashford Kent 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 fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from Barclays as we intend to conduct renovations to our home in Ashford Kent. Do we need to appoint a local Ashford Kent solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Barclays do not ordinarily instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
We were going to get a OIP from Kent Reliance this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Ashford Kent solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Ashford Kent solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Ashford Kent is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Ashford Kent are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ashford Kent you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ashford Kent 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 residence.
Is it best to use a Ashford Kent conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can execute the legal work however her office is a couple of hundredkilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Ashford Kent conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, deliver your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and they were content that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Ashford Kent conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being round the corner.
