I own a freehold premises in Sprotbrough yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Sprotbrough and has limited impact for conveyancing in Sprotbrough 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of new rentcharges post 1977.
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.

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Sprotbrough Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information about Sprotbrough.
The deeds to our home are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Sprotbrough 5 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be held by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and get up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.
How does conveyancing in Sprotbrough differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Sprotbrough come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Sprotbrough usually buy the land, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Sprotbrough or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Sprotbrough I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sprotbrough in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
