I own a freehold residence in Gateshead but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Gateshead and has limited impact for conveyancing in Gateshead 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 fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require this when buying a property in Gateshead? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that house owners residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards maintenance to the chancel within the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Gateshead?
Unless a prior acquisition of the premises took place post 12 October 2013 you could expect lawyers delivering conveyancing in Gateshead to continue to suggest a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
