Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Barmouth

I am the registered owner of a freehold premises in Barmouth yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Barmouth and has limited impact for conveyancing in Barmouth 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 generation of new rentcharges post 1977.

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