I purchased a freehold residence in North Cave yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in North Cave and has limited impact for conveyancing in North Cave 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 creation 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.

It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in North Cave completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

How does conveyancing in North Cave differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in North Cave come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in North Cave usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in North Cave or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in North Cave before appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to issue a mortgage on such a house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in North Cave. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
