I purchased a freehold property in Malden Rushett yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Malden Rushett and has limited impact for conveyancing in Malden Rushett 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 from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be extinguished.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Malden Rushett is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

There are numerous properties in Malden Rushett on unadopted roads. My partner and I are buying one such house. Are there any benefits to purchasing a house on a private road?
Malden Rushett conveyancing lawyers are used to dealing houseson private. Your conveyancer should review the Land Registry data to find any rights or responsibilities. In many cases there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that proprietors pay into for the upkeep of the road. Where there is one, the road should be maintained and look nicer than publicly maintained.
