I own a freehold house in Hunstanton but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Hunstanton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Hunstanton 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 new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
I acquired my home on 10 November and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Hunstanton said it would be formalised in less than a month. Are transfers in Hunstanton particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Hunstanton registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not always top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Hunstanton is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Even where you use a solicitor outside Hunstanton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
