I purchased a freehold premises in Bermondsey but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Bermondsey and has limited impact for conveyancing in Bermondsey 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.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Bermondsey I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Bermondsey suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

I am attracted to a two apartments in Bermondsey which have in the region of forty five years unexpired on the lease term. should I be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the value of the lease reduces and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
