I own a freehold premises in Battersea but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Battersea and has limited impact for conveyancing in Battersea 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 creation of new rentcharges post 1977.

Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer can levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Lloyds but by your Battersea conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Lloyds panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

You must advise RBS before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that RBS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact RBS directly. You need not do this via a RBS conveyancing panel firm.

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in Battersea and how can you help?

The particular law that you refer to provides protection to commercial lessees, granting the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
