I own a freehold house in Billesdon but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Billesdon and has limited impact for conveyancing in Billesdon 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Billesdon. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Billesdon?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Principality are being a right pain. The Billesdon solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Principality are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Co-operative have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Billesdon has been accepted, now what?
The property agent will want to be advised as to your property lawyer's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Co-operative or the broker and complete any appropriate documentation. Co-operative will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to arrange a slot for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to receive the mortgage offer. Co-operative will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Billesdon.
I'm buying a new build house in Billesdon with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this extras as it would jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Billesdon I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Billesdon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
