I own a freehold residence in Clowne but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Clowne and has limited impact for conveyancing in Clowne 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 creation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.
I am mortgaging my flat in Clowne, does my lawyer have to be on the UBS Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the UBS conveyancing panel, but UBS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Clowne I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Clowne suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Clowne. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Clowne - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
