I own a freehold property in Oswaldtwistle but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Oswaldtwistle and has limited impact for conveyancing in Oswaldtwistle 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 fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

We previously appointed solicitors based in Oswaldtwistle on the RBS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate sum for the legal aspects of the RBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by RBS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by RBS but by your Oswaldtwistle conveyancer. Numerous firms on the RBS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Oswaldtwistle is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Oswaldtwistle are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Oswaldtwistle you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Oswaldtwistle may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
