I own a freehold premises in Wanborough yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Wanborough and has limited impact for conveyancing in Wanborough 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 generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old 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.
The deeds to my property are lost. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Wanborough 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
