I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Alsager yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Alsager and has limited impact for conveyancing in Alsager 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Alsager is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

I work for a busy estate agent office in Alsager where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Alsager conveyancing firms. Can you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
