I purchased a freehold premises in Rawcliffe but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Rawcliffe and has limited impact for conveyancing in Rawcliffe 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

I know that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need this when buying a house in Rawcliffe? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that owners of property residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for repairs towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Rawcliffe?
Unless a previous purchase of the premises took place post 12 October 2013 you could expect lawyers delivering conveyancing in Rawcliffe to continue to recommend a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Rawcliffe is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Rawcliffe are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Rawcliffe you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rawcliffe may decide 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.

Are Rawcliffe conveyancing solicitors duty bound by the Law Society to publish transparent conveyancing figures?
Inbuilt into the Solicitors Code of Conduct are set rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their charges to clients.The Law Society have a practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not to be regarded as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, nevertheless, represent the Law Society’s perspective of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Rawcliffe or across England and Wales.
