I purchased a freehold house in Burwash yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Burwash and has limited impact for conveyancing in Burwash 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 post 1977.

Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be extinguished.

I happen to be the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Burwash. The Burwash property was put into my name in July. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in July. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

We were going to get a OIP from UBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any Burwash solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Burwash solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.

How does conveyancing in Burwash differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Burwash contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Burwash tend to acquire the site, 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Burwash or who has acted in the same development.

Burwash Leasehold Conveyancing - Examples of Queries Prior to buying

    The majority of Burwash leasehold flats will incur a service bill for maintenance of the building levied by the landlord. Where you acquire the property you will have to meet this contribution, usually in instalments accross the year. This can be anything from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large communal grounds. There will also be a rentcharge to be met yearly, this is usually not a large sum, say approximately £50-£100 but you need to check as occasionally it can be prohibitively expensive. Who takes responsibility for maintaining and repairing the building? Is the freehold reversion owned collectively by the tenants?
