I own a freehold residence in Frogmore but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Frogmore and has limited impact for conveyancing in Frogmore 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.

How does conveyancing in Frogmore differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Frogmore come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Frogmore tend to buy the real estate, 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 Frogmore or who has acted in the same development.
