I purchased a freehold residence in Rishton but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Rishton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Rishton 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 fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.
My grandfather passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Rishton. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £8000. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Yorkshire BS, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
If you intend to re-mortgage then Yorkshire BS will require that you use a conveyancer on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Yorkshire BS mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
I am buying my first flat in Rishton with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my lawyer about the side-deal as it could affect my mortgage with Accord Mortgages Ltd. Is this normal?.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Rishton is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Rishton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Rishton you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Rishton 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 residence.
