I purchased a freehold premises in Bexley yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Bexley and has limited impact for conveyancing in Bexley 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 establishment 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 after 2037 will be extinguished.

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 quick, chain free conveyancing. Bexley is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Bexley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bexley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bexley 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 premises.

One month into buying a house in Bexley. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the property is "Leasehold". Does this make a difference on our mortgage valuation?
Bexley conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a nominal rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability significantly.
On the flip side, if it's, say, Sixty years it is bound to have a material impact on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your conveyancer.
