I purchased a freehold house in Hayes yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Hayes and has limited impact for conveyancing in Hayes 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 generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.
A relative advised me that in purchasing a property in Hayes there may be a number of restrictions preventing external changes to a property. Is this right?
There are a number of properties in Hayes which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to carry out external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Hayes should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
We are buying a victorian detached house in Hayes. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal conveyancing on the property include checks to determine if these works are prohibited?
Your solicitor should check the registered title as conveyancing in Hayes can on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain changes or necessitated the consent of another owner. Some additions need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
My husband and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Kent Reliance as we want to carry out improvements to our house in Hayes. Do we need to select a nearby Hayes solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Kent Reliance don't usually appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Kent Reliance list.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Hayes I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Hayes for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
How and when do I cover the costs of the Stamp Duty Land Tax due for my purchase in Hayes?

After completion your lawyer will submit your Land Transaction application to the Inland Revenue and - as long as they have the money - discharge any Stamp Duty liability for you.
