It’s unusual for properties in Bishops Cleeve and has limited impact for conveyancing in Bishops Cleeve 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

How does conveyancing in Bishops Cleeve differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Bishops Cleeve contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Bishops Cleeve usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bishops Cleeve or who has acted in the same development.
