I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Bagillt but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Bagillt and has limited impact for conveyancing in Bagillt 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 generation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

I've recently bought a leasehold property in Bagillt. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

There are plenty of houses in Bagillt on private lanes. We are buying such a house. What are the advantages and disadvantages of buying a property on a privately owned road?
Bagillt conveyancing practices are familiar with dealing homeson unadopted roads. Your lawyer should investigate title to find any rights or liabilities. In many cases there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that residents make annual contributions to maintain the road. Where one exists, the road should be maintained and look better than publicly adopted.
