I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Lymm but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Lymm and has limited impact for conveyancing in Lymm 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 post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Lymm. There are those who acquire a house in Lymm, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises.

The standard information given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the owner to find out if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer could bring a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate response. The purchaser’s solicitors should also carry out an enviro report. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be conducted.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Lymm I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Lymm suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
