I own a freehold property in Low Moor but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Low Moor and has limited impact for conveyancing in Low Moor 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 establishment of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

As is the case with lots of service providers, often input from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may suggest solicitors to instruct. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to select your preferred lawyer.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Low Moor where we have witnessed a number of flat sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local Low Moor conveyancing solicitors. Could you confirm whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
