I purchased a freehold house in Melton Constable but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Melton Constable and has limited impact for conveyancing in Melton Constable 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 date back 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.

Just bought a detached house in Melton Constable , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Melton Constable conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are dealt with.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Melton Constable registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the property so post completion formalities is not typically an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Melton Constable. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have just received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as normal given that all ground rent and maintenance charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
