I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Burscough but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Burscough and has limited impact for conveyancing in Burscough 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be extinguished.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Burscough registration formalities.

Historically registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the premises so post completion formalities is not typically top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Burscough I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Burscough suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
