I own a freehold residence in Seven Sisters but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Seven Sisters and has limited impact for conveyancing in Seven Sisters 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 creation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
Will my lawyer be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Seven Sisters.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Seven Sisters. Plenty of people will buy a property in Seven Sisters, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Seven Sisters. The conventional set of information sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual inquiry of the owner to determine whether the property has ever been flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could bring a claim for damages as a result of such an inaccurate answer. The buyer’s conveyancers may also carry out an enviro search. This will reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be initiated.
