I purchased a freehold residence in Wealdstone yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Wealdstone and has limited impact for conveyancing in Wealdstone 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 from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

My hope is to purchase a ground floor maisonette in Wealdstone. Conveyancing lawyer is awaiting, from the vendor, building insurance documents. This morning I was informed that the vendor needs to forward the insurance schedule for the flat above in addition. Why does my conveyancer want to see the insurance for the flat above? Is it really necessary? We have been in hold for the previous month…
It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Wealdstone to find Conveyancing in Wealdstone in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the entire building - which is clearly better. Do check with your conveyancing practitioner but it would seem that your solicitor is looking to establish that the entire building is insured. Insuring your flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reconstructed due to lack of insurance.
