It is rare for properties in Byker and Walker and has limited impact for conveyancing in Byker and Walker 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

Just acquired a detached house in Byker and Walker , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Byker and Walker conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the post completion formalities are concluded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Byker and Walker registration formalities.

Historically registration is effected once the purchaser has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not usually top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
