I purchased a freehold house in tipton but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in tipton and has limited impact for conveyancing in tipton 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 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 in 2037 will be extinguished.
We are selling our home in tipton. Will my lawyer need to be required to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in tipton?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in tipton. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in tipton prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to grant a loan on this type of premises.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements from Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in tipton. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in tipton to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
