I own a freehold property in Bromborough but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Bromborough and has limited impact for conveyancing in Bromborough 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 establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.
We wanted to use a property lawyer in Bromborough for our house move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage lenders Coventry Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Banks on the whole restrict either the category or the amount of conveyancing practices on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the type of firm, a few lenders have reduced the amount of solicitor practices they allow to represent them. Be aware that Coventry Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Coventry Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are differing views concerning the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry indicate that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Bromborough only carry out a couple conveyances a year.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Bromborough?
