I have just started taking steps with the intention of transferring my domestic home loan to a BTL Yorkshire Building Society mortgage.

The fee calculation provided of £470 has taken me by surprise as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s just a bog-standard refinance.

I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Tintern but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Tintern and has limited impact for conveyancing in Tintern 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 establishment of fresh rentcharges post 1977.

Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.

Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to meet my requirements, at a great figure which is making it more attractive.

Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent properties in Tintern with a long lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease terminates on 21st October 2094

You have 69 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
