I own a freehold property in Bedmond but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Bedmond and has limited impact for conveyancing in Bedmond 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 establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.

About to purchase a new build flat in Bedmond. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bedmond
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. 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. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

The prefered form of lease structure is if the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this situation the tenants benefit from control and even though a managing agent is often employed if it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. Is anyone aware of any major works in the near future that could add a premium to the maintenance fees? This question is useful as a) areas could cause problems in the block as the common areas may begin to deteriorate if repairs remain unpaid b) if the tenants have a dispute with the running of the building you will wish to know about it
