I am the registered owner of a freehold premises in Colliers Wood yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Colliers Wood and has limited impact for conveyancing in Colliers Wood 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 generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
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.
Is it the case that all Colliers Wood solicitor firms on the Principality conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Principality approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. The majority of mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I am employed by a long established estate agent office in Colliers Wood where we have experienced a number of flat sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Colliers Wood conveyancing solicitors. Can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
