I own a freehold residence in Allestree but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Allestree and has limited impact for conveyancing in Allestree 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.

How does conveyancing in Allestree differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Allestree come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Allestree tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Allestree or who has acted in the same development.

    On the whole the outlay for major works are not included within maintenance charges, albeit that there some managing agents in Allestree require leasehold owners to pay into a reserve fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for larger repairs or maintenance. Best to be warned whether fixing the lift or some other significant cost is coming up to be shared amongst the leasehold owners and will dramatically increase the the maintenance fees or result in a specific payment. You should be aware if it is fewer than 80 years it will impact the value of the apartment. Check with your bank that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely need a lease extension at some point and it is worth finding out what this would cost.
