I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Marylebone yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Marylebone and has limited impact for conveyancing in Marylebone 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.

Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Marylebone

    If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

Am I best advised to appoint a Marylebone conveyancing solicitor based in the location that I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can carry out the legal work but they are based 200kilometers drive away.

The benefit of a high street Marylebone conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute documents, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and the majority were content that should trump using an unfamiliar Marylebone conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Marylebone based.
