I purchased a freehold property in Belford yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Belford and has limited impact for conveyancing in Belford 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 new rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

I was recommended by numerous selling agents in Belford to locate a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers ahead of a competitor’s?
We refuse to give any financial incentive for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
