I own a freehold property in Hadfield but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Hadfield and has limited impact for conveyancing in Hadfield 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 many centuries, 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 will be extinguished.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Hadfield?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Hadfield. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I'm purchasing a new build house in Hadfield with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it will affect my loan with Santander. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
