I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Levenshulme yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Levenshulme and has limited impact for conveyancing in Levenshulme 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation 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 will be extinguished.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Levenshulme I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Levenshulme suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
