I own a freehold property in Gnosall but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Gnosall and has limited impact for conveyancing in Gnosall 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 fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
My stepmother advised me that in buying a property in Gnosall there may be various restrictions preventing external changes to the property. Is this right?

I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Gnosall. The Gnosall property was put into my name in August. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in August. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. Some lenders would take a pragmatic view as this requirement is principally there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
About to purchase apartment in Gnosall. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Gnosall solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Gnosall I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Gnosall in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
