I own a freehold property in Camelford but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Camelford and has limited impact for conveyancing in Camelford 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

Should our solicitor be making enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Camelford.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Camelford.

However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Camelford. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer could commence a legal claim for losses resulting from an inaccurate answer. A purchaser’s conveyancers should also order an enviro search. This should indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be conducted.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
