I purchased a freehold property in Wolverley yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Wolverley and has limited impact for conveyancing in Wolverley 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 one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.
I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Wolverley. The Wolverley property was put into my name in June. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in June. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. many lenders would take a practical view as this obligation is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

The property lawyers undertaking our conveyancing in Wolverley has forwarded documents to review that show the land is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not yet recorded at HMLR?
Whilst most properties in Wolverley are now registered with the Land Registry there are still some that remain unregistered. Any property in Wolverley that has been purchased since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HM Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Wolverley property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Many Wolverley conveyancing solicitors will be able to handle such matters but if any uncertainty exists the prevailing guidance these days is for the vendor’s solicitor to address the registration formalities first and subsequently deal with the dispose of the property to the purchaser - this undoubtedly cause a significant delay.
